Please copy those details to the help text of the package.

No, the license is not GPLv2. See the README file:
==
The GNU SASL Library is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public
License (LGPL) version 2.1 (or later). See the file COPYING.LIB. The
GNU project typically uses the GNU General Public License (GPL) for
libraries, and not the LGPL, but for this project we decided that we
would get more help from the community if we used the LGPLv2.1+, as
other free SASL implementations exists. See also
<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-not-lgpl.html>.
Some parts, such as the gnulib self-tests (gltests/) are licensed
under the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 3.0 (or later).
See the file COPYING.
==
So, probably, it should be something like:
LIBGSASL_LICENSE = LGPLv2.1+ (library), GPLv3+ (programs)
LIBGSASL_LICENSE_FILES = README COPYING.LIB COPYING
I'm suggesting to also copy the README file in addition to the license
files themselves, because the README explains how the different
licenses apply to the different parts of libgasl.
Best regards,
Thomas
