it's already in the package: /usr/share/licenses/common/LGPL2/license.txt

Should more versions of LGPL , eg. LGPL1 or LGPL2, be in there or this shouldnt be considered a bug? Cause the both LGPL & LGPL 2 include the LGPL 2.1 license.

Maybe we could add LGPL2. Are there packages that need it specifically? Most packages uses LGPL 2.1 or later. I don't know the difference between the two. I guess it's minor. The bug reporter hasn't posted back.

As for LPGL1, I haven't seen any package using it. It's so old that it's probably only found in dead projects that doesn't build/work anymore. We can always add it if we found a working project that use that license.

This is cleared up a bit in the next licenses package (2.5). The LGPL directory is now symlinked to LGPL2.1, which is what we had always meant by LGPL or LGPL2.
