Did you mean "either version 2 or (at your choice any) later version of
the License"? (or however it is written...)

According to your copyright file, any Debian patches will be under GPL-2
and cannot be applied.  However, the Apache2 license is not compatible
with GPL-2 (it seems to be with GPL-3)[1].

Despite our best efforts, the FSF has never considered the Apache
License to be compatible with GPL version 2, citing the patent
termination and indemnification provisions as restrictions not present
in the older GPL license.
