Bug#394221: libxerces2-java: refers to jaxp-1.3.jar but depends on libjaxp1.2-java

Package: libxerces2-java
Version: 2.8.0-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software

This package depends on libjaxp1.2-java, however there is a symbolic link 
/usr/share/java/xmlParserAPIs.jar refering to jaxp-1.3.jar.

Additionally, if I try to run ant (which depends on libxerces2-java), I get 
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/xml/sax/ext/Attributes2
(hence the severity critical). 

After installing libjaxp-1.3, ant works again.
