 OK. So what it boils down to is this?:
 
  - to distribute a SUMO all files in all packages must at least be of
    GPLv2 status. 
No.  A SUMO is a mere aggregation.  As I understand it, the SUMO as a
whole is distributed under the GPLv3, but individual packages can be
separated out under their own licenses.
  - when a single package is synced with a GPLv3 version up stream
the
    whole package, all files in the package, must be GPLv3, 
Not for packages that are "mere aggregations", such as the ones named
"something-utils".  On the other hand, Gnus gets split up into several
packages.  We just have to be careful; it depends on whether a
particular package is considered a single work or not.
Probably the easiest thing is to just upgrade all files in a package
when we upgrade any single one.
