OK. So my copyright file contains this:

Upstream-contact: Dmitry Naumenko <dm.naume...@gmail.com>
Source: http://code.google.com/p/java-diff-utils/
Comment: Much of this code was derived from JRCS, written by Juancarlo Añez
 <juancarlo.a...@gmail.com>, which was originally Apache-1.1 and later
 relicenced to LGPL-2.1. This version was derived from the 2003.06 LGPL
 vintage of JRCS at http://code.google.com/p/jrcs. Clarified in emails
 from Juancarlo Añez and Dmitry Naumenko. This is inconsistent with
 the headers provided by upstream at
 http://code.google.com/p/java-diff-utils/

This tooks me weeks to sort out IIRC, so that should be helpful. I did this
in 2013 for v1.2.1 so you will need to update for 2.1.1

I also have a packaged libjrcs-java

The reason I did this was for the caveconverter package, which is
stalled because I also needed to package jscience, which needs
geoapi and javolution, which needs maven-native-helper. I am on the
last package of this 3-year saga...

Here are the packages I have:
http://wookware.org/software/libjrcs-java_0.4.2-1.dsc
http://wookware.org/software/libdiffutils-java_1.2.1-1.dsc

I forget if there was more tweaking to do which is why they never
actually got uploaded, but they look plausible.

I think I persuaded my caveconverter upstream to use jrcs instead of
diffutils to avoid the licence confusion, so was planning to upload
that one, but if you want the other that's fine. I can't find the mail thread 
now to remind myself of the details. 

Wookey
