Bug#801002: libxmlrpc3-java: depends on obsolete libcommons-httpclient-java library

thanks

This issue was already reported upstream but the project looks pretty
dead nowadays. Two years ago someone proposed a patch to switch to
httpcomponents but it was never discussed.

Since libxmlrpc3-java seems to be unmaintained upstream, I see basically
two options:

1) Test if the proposed patch works and can be applied for the Debian
   package. Switch to httpcomponents.

2) Remove libxmlrpc3-java from Debian because it is unmaintained

I think the latter might be doable because only four packages
build-depend on libxmlrpc3-java.
