Hi Bastian,

Thanks so much for taking a look at my package.

This was an error on my part, it is indeed GPL-3, no plus. I've fixed this and targeted unstable in a new build.

Please let me know if there's anything else I should change.

Many thanks,

Mark

Hi Mark,

Good job on you first package! There is one thing that I do not get on
the first look: Where do you get the "or later" clause from that is in
GPL-3.0+ (d/copyright)? I cannot see any license header in the project,
so I would assume GPL-3 (no +) applies. With that change I would sponsor
the package.

Please change UNRELEASED in the changelog to unstable or experimental.

Thanks,
Bastian
