As before, please provide a better description (at least by replacing
“Provides” in the first sentence with “This package provides”); and use
lower-case in the synopsis.

I don’t think this is correct. The package actually doesn’t declare the
version of the GPL. There are no license headers I could find and all
it says is
“This package is free and open source software, licensed under GPL.”
Furthermore, as noted before, there might be a license conflict when
combining “r-knitr” with “r-markdown”, because the latter is released
under “GPLv2 only”.
I just asked the author about what version of the GPL was intended
here[1].
