Please fix upstream metadata for gmt (patch attached)

Hi,

I'm frequently observing that people have a string ": " in the yaml
value field of debian/upstream/metadata.  Please note that this string
marks the separation between field and value and is not allowed inside a
value.  The attached patch fixes this for gmt.  You do not need to
upload the package to fix this - it is sufficient to "git am" the patch.
Thus I did not filed a bug report but currently I'm sitting behind a
slow connection that does not permit me to clone the whole gmt
repository and making some extra noise about this issue besides a simple
commit might (hopefully) create some awareness of this issue which is a
frequent mistake (not only in Debian GIS packages).

Kind regards

       Andreas.
