By looking at the copyright of included files, I noticed that domxml-php4-php5.php is apparently under a DFSG non-free license (CC-BY-SA 2.0-FR) license (if I trust what's explained at http://people.debian.org/~evan/ccsummary.html).
I guess it shouldn't be uploaded to Debian as such, then.
domxml-php4-php5.php is currently used when using phpCAS in PHP 5, in particular with CAS 2 servers.
So it is actually required for the library to work.
There seems to be quite easy way to make phpCAS work without that library by using PHP dom API directly instead of the old PHP4 syntax + domxml-php4-php5.php. Such changes are similar to what's exposed at : http://www.ja-sig.org/issues/secure/attachment/11173/php5-dom.patch
More on this later.
