Is it legal to upload a package with GPLv3 license right now?

It's always legal to upload it anywhere, because the license gives you the permission to do that (provided you comply with the rest of the terms).

Whether a GPLv3 work is distributable compliant with Debian's own DFSG is a different matter -- and if the answer is "no", that doesn't make it illegal for you to distribute it.
