I noticed it yesterday.
The problem is that the package contains missing and depcomp that are distributed under the GPL-2+ licence with an exception.
I reported this fact by saying that the license of these files is "GPL-2+ or Expat" and adding the exception text in the licence description.

I just read again the copyright format description, and probably I just should report "GPL-2+ with Autoconf exception" instead and avoid to put a long license description.
Is this the right way to proceed?
If yes, in other packages I added exceptions by adding each exception in a license section on its own and then using the "and" keyword. Do you think I should change those
package to use the "with XXX exception" form?

Bests,
