Why are you skipping tests? Hmm?

It seems that the package combines incompatible licenses (GPL-2 and GPL-3+)? To address the license issue. The upstream author used the file concerned prior to file being changed to GPL-2+. For reference, git commit for change to GPL-2+.

https://github.com/txt2tags/txt2tags/commit/716debb6ae7996e21201a74cfa6a30cb8b25 32fe If the code in rednotebook was copied before the license change then it's under GPL-2 only and you cannot change the license header. Or did you mean something else?

appdata_path_and_description.patch shouldn't be executable. rednotebook/external/txt2tags.py should have a section in d/copyright. rednotebook/external/msgfmt.py doesn't contain a license, and as it's a file from another author it shouldn't be assumed it's under the project license.
