Having the LICENSE file together with the distribution should be enough for anyone to be at easy regarding licensing, but I fixed the mixed descriptions anyway at commit 6069aa8.
Please evaluate and let me know.

I understand that the release 0.28 fix this issue, so I'm closing it.

Do we have a public trail of the copyright holder (Mike Schilli)'s approval of the change of license of his code? Otherwise I'm afraid this doesn't work like that …
(I'm looking at updating the Debian package.)

taking 'GPL 1 or later' code and rereleasing it as GPL 3 is legit. Those who prefer Artistic or GPL 1 can still take the original code released as such.

@gregoa , you can check the permissions given by Mike here. I'm officially the maintainer.
Besides that, I don't see how come using GPL 3 would be an issue to release a packaged version of the distribution on Debian.

That was not my question :)

GPL-3 is of course no problem; I was just a bit hesitant because
changing _someone else's_ license triggered a warning in the back of
my head.
But yeah, that's probably allowed by the original license, so sorry
for the false alarm.
Cheers,

@gregoa ,
That was not my question :)
But I'm afraid that is what I have. :-)
There is a reason for GPL-3 being released, and that's why I "upgraded" the licensing.
But I understand the concern. I just picked up from where Mike stopped and thought that releasing as GPL-3 was a good choice to protect the freedoms of the project.
