Without source code it fails to comply with the Debian Free Software
Guidelines. That means we could distribute it in the non-free
component only but that does not really help. A package in the main
component like wagon must not depend on anything which is not part of
main.

The best solution is to port wagon to Jackrabbit 2.0.

Cheers,
Torsten
