Wouldn't that means that the debian package can only be distributed/used
under GPL-3+, and thus e.g. a library can't be linked from / used
in something with a noncompatible license (including GPL-2), even if
the upstream program allowed it?
(Assuming that there is something copyrightable in debian/ minus
debian/patches/, and for other packages that the upstream license
was compatible with GPL-3+ in the first place)
