GPL-1 versus GPL-2

[Mats Erik Andersson <mats.andersson@gisladisker.se>]

Dear mentors,

in the course of renovating an older package, prior to
adopting it, I ran into a calamity. On the one hand the
source files are individually lisensed as GPL-1+, while
on the other hand 'debian/copyright' is claiming GPL-2+,
and Lintian is complaining about the symlink-license GPL.

Which is the proper way of reflecting the author's choice
of GLP-1+ as his preferred condition. A Lintian override?

Regards,
