The order of commands you have planned is OK.

However, I wonder why you wish to use the (mpeg2dec) license header from
yuv2rgb.c?  Is the file derived from yuv2rgb.c?  I'm asking since it was
not created via 'svn copy'.  Also, I think there should be a short note
about the (re)licensing troubles you encountered.  Maybe wait a day or
two before removing the file again so we have a chance to comment.  Or
even better, paste the header here before doing the changes.
