Hi,
I see [1] that the package is currently public domain, except for a
couple of files, which are instead copyrighted and released under the
terms of the GNU GPL v2 or later.

[1] http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/f/foremost/current/copyright

Hence I wonder: why would you want to gratuitously restrict the whole
package to GPL-3+ just because of debian/* ?
I would suggest licensing debian/* files under GPL-2+ for consistency
with the packaged work.

Just my opinion...
