I don't know how active upstream is. These packages are just dependencies for 
openfire. Openfire upstream includes these libraries in their package and if 
I'm correct these files will have to be removed from the upstream tarball to 
be suitable for debian.
I've got some questions about packaging java packages for debian. Which jre do 
you depend on and how/where is JAVA_HOME defined?
