The GPL paragraph I cited does not mean "re-license it for whatever GPL
version you want", but "The author doesn't care. His licensed work is
compatible to every GPL version (or GPL compatible licenses) you want to
choose for derivate works".

This means for you, you can keep things as they are, just give no
version in DEP-5 for the sections where this applies for your upstream
source. Remaining parts (if any) can be licensed to whatever is
compatible to any GPL version.
