I disagree, and stand to what I’ve written in the last changelog entry:

  Actually fixing the constructors requires to also fix all their calls,
  both internally and externally. This backward-incompatible change has
  been achieved in version 2 of phpseclib, packaged in Debian as
  php-phpseclib to ensure co-installability. (Closes: #819420)

From http://phpseclib.sourceforge.net/:

  The 2.0 branch has pretty much the exact same API as the 1.0 branch,
  save for that it is namespaced, uses PHP5-style constructors (thereby
  avoiding E_DEPRECATED errors) and requires the use of an autoloader.

A proper fix to the deprecated constructor syntax is maintained
upstream, provided in Debian via php-phpseclib (version 2). If you want
to use it, you should depend on php-phpseclib instead of php-seclib
(helping various upstreams to move away from version 1 to version 2 will
probably be a better use of our collective time than patching the
version 1 ourselves).

Regards

David
