Hi Joao, thanks for taking this upstream.

For the record, the patch says

This file is distributed under the same license as the libvisual-plugins package.

which seems to match this part

Files: debian/*
[..]
License: GPL-2+

(due to path debian/patches/110_add_de_translation.patch) according to debian/copyright in http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libv/libvisual-plugins/libvisual-plugins_0.4.0+dfsg1-13.debian.tar.xz .

"same license as the libvisual-plugins package" and "Files: debian/*" seem to point to the same thing to me so no doubt about "GPL 2 or later" to me.

No. debian/* is the packaging system and its specific licensing. It can be unlike the upstream license (must be compatible only). E.g.: you can have a software using GPL-2+ and my packaging can use BSD-3-Clause. Please, see the complete copyright file used in Debian here[1].

I'm aware that packaging and upstream sources can have different licenses. What you say is in line rather than in contradiction with what I was saying.
