The best place to ask is debian-mentors@lists.debian.org or
#debian-mentors. You can also use mentors.debian.net to upload fixed
versions of these packages so that people can review them.

Post on the resources above for that.

Hopefully you mean that it's licensed GPL-2 or 3, and the effective
permissions are now just GPL-3.

Regardless, you just express the full set of licenses in
debian/copyright. The effective set of licenses of the binary isn't
something you have to deal with (luckily).

I stared at the mountain rising over me. Empty. It was a pointless
thing to have done -- climb up it, across it, and down it. Stupid! It
looked perfect; so clean and untouched, and we had changed nothing.
