Uff...  Just took a quick view at your diff.gz, don't have the time for
in deep review of the entire package, but:
1) You don't need to patch upstreams version of the GPL, since you
already point to the corrected in /usr/share/common-licenses.
2) Please use some kind of patch managemnt system, since your diff.gz is
really hard to read.
3) Your diff.gz adds stuff like bugs-everywhere-0.0.193/.be/bugs/... to
the package; I don't think that's usefull, since these bug data will
be outdated sooner or later.  And again this stuff just makes it
difficult to read your diff.
