No, ASM 2.0 and 2.1 are binary imcompatible to 1.5.x. Its not possible
to update this package to 2.x. The new upstream version needs to get
packaged on its own as separate package as many applications/libraries
still depend on ASM 1.5.x. Wolfgang Baer is working on this already.
It just needs some time.
