Well, The problem is that the license change occurred after some
releases, so there are many additional functions and bug fixes between
the 2 versions.
I had to update the file, since "downgrading" the LGPL one is fairly
difficult (and not really useful).

So I'd advise to update the file.

Files with the CC-SA 2.0 were the same in the 3 versions (etch, lenny,
sid).
As said before, a plain diff is not easy to extract - and not really
relevant.
If updating the file is not possible (due to the changes), it is
possible to remove the lib/phpcas directory without affecting too much
the application (the only lost feature would be SSO login using CAS),
but removing a feature is not really something we want between 2 stable
upgrades, I guess ..

Cheers,
Pierre
