1.10.3-2 is no longer there, so I took a look at 1.10.4-1.

The way Lintian handles "and"s and "or"s is probably buggy (see 
#801182), but for this copyright file, there's a simpler explanation.

The paragraphs at lines 81 and 195 look like this:

Files: ...
License: GPL-2+
Using license from COPYING file.

This is an (unintentional) definition of the GPL-2+ license, so Lintian 
correctly complains that there's more than one definition of it.

I believe these paragraphs should read:

Files: ...
License: GPL-2+
Comment:
Using license from COPYING file.

Yup, this tag was added to Lintian in 2.5.31.
