Note: some files are GPLv2+, others are GPLv3+. There are a few headers also
declared as LGPL. I think the right approach is to set GPLv3+ here.

  Correct. This is the typical situation when a project changes from v2 
to v3: not all files are updated, so there's a mix in the source code.

  For the LGPL files: LGPL carries a specific clause that specifies that 
you can make copies under the GPL (same version) instead of the LGPL. 
There's actually a requirement that you should update all license texts, 
but that's exactly what we do here by just installing the GPLv3 license 
(and we're anyway talking about distribution of binaries).

  Bottom line:
