Lowering severity somewhat, let's keep our heads cool :-) This does not break
unrelated software, but rather related software like ant (which depends on
libxerces2-java).
I can prepare a fix for this one today. But in the longer perspective the
mess with different JAXP versions needs to be cleaned up.
Recent versions of the Java platform already contain the JAXP API, making
libjaxp1.x-java superfluous in most cases. For example it is unnecessary to
build-depend on it when building a package with GCJ. Moreover it should be
possible to get rid of libjaxp1.2-java entirely. I'll write up a more
detailed proposal later.
