Chris, thanks for the update.

So we should work for removal of this package for etch. Shouldn't be
much work only a few packages - I will have a look.

Only point is sablevm depends on it - however they should just provide
it in their class library if they going to update the debian package.
I hope this will be done before edge :-)

@Arnaud, as Chris already said its not so easy to use it together with
non-free JDKs. Also keep in mind that using different XML libraries
would at least need some setting of properties which is not what
you can expect from an user using a non-free JDK - they are ok with
what ships with the JDK, IMHO.

Regards,
Wolfgang
