Bug#644897: fop: Some warnings/errors are written to stdout instead of stderr

[Tristan Seligmann]

Package: fop
Version: 1:1.0.dfsg2-3
Severity: important

For example:

tristan at amber:~> fop input.fo output.pdf 2>/dev/null
table-layout="fixed" and width="auto", but auto-layout not supported =>
assuming width="100%". (See position 12:44)

This is merely anoying if you are writing output to a file, but when
writing output to stdout (by passing -), this is actively harmful. I've
attached a reduced example that can be used to reproduce this, but I'm
not sure that this is the only message that gets written to stdout like
this.
