This seems to be a minor mistake left over during transition from
libservlet2.4-java to libservlet2.5-java.
In my opinion, 'servlet-api' should be removed from the launcher
script. This library is only required by the few servlets included in
fop.

Please feel free to file a minor bug in Debian BTS.

Cheers,
