You did not explain the changes of the hashes for the license files.
And in fact, it seems like there are some important changes in
pytalloc.h:

So it seems like this part was under GPL-3.0+ before, and it is now
under LGPL-3.0+. Could you look into this, and assess whether
LIBTALLOC_LICENSE needs to be changed in libtalloc.mk ?

Best regards,
