Debian has four versions of asm. Each version is incompatible with the
previous one, and they share the same namespace (org.objectweb.asm.*).
That means two versions can't coexist safely in the same classpath, this
is guaranteed to break at runtime. That's why widely used libraries like
cglib relocate the asm classes under a different namespace to avoid
conflicts (net.sf.cglib.asm.*).

I'm not sure to see why the security team would care about this though.
