The below answer is not authoritative. Can't you treat the proposed dependency-that-itself-depends-on-a-GPLv2-library as a Category X dependency? IIRC, that means you can include code for it but that must be disabled by default, and the dependency itself can't be part of your main distribution artifacts. (but the /legal/resolved page has the accurate details)
