We have a bootstrapping issue with this.. upstream CVS repo ships with
'lib/bootstrap-relaxngcc.jar' which is used to generate the files for
the parser. And since the source tarball can't include that relaxngcc
has no way to enter Debian?

Fedora doesn't seem to care, they used to have a version where it used
the embedded jar file, but the one that entered the archive used the
same build system as our original upload..
