of LGPL and GPL in source files

I've gone through license considerations of RFP-marked package
libbtctl lately, and have questions about two concerns:
* 7 source files are have LGPL license in their headers, but link
against bluez-libs, which is licensed under the GPL. One such file
ishttp://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/libbtctl/src/btctlimpl.c?rev=1.20&view=markup.
The overall license of libbtctl is GPL. Shouldn't the license in each
of the 7 source files be changed to GPL since they link against a
GPL'ed library?
* Some source files are LGPL and some are GPL. The end-result library
is GPL. My conclusion is that this is DFSG compatible. Am I right?
Cheers,
