I just looked, and the source files say this:

  This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
  modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as
  published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the
  License, or (at your option) any later version.

That means lgpl2.0+, as the Debian maintainer concluded.

Have you been concluding the licenses based solely on the COPYING file
(or similar) present in the tarball?  If so, you may have been getting
it wrong for a long time.  The copyright notices in the source files are
the relevant thing to check.  I usually check Debian's copyright files,
since they've already done the hard work.

     Thanks,
       Mark
