I don't think this is a good solution, as in any case the package is licensed under GPL-2, so how about for the packages that only support GPL-2 we set: LICENSE=3D"GPL-2" While for the ones that support v2 or later (this is actually a special case of multiple licensing) we do: LICENSE=3D"GPL-2 GPL-3" when it becomes available?
