As one of the many fop maintainers, I would vote *against* backporting
fop 1.0 to squeeze (quite strongly actually). See bug #610344 and more
recently #646141.
I really feel anxious in backporting fop in that state, fop is really
a ".0" release, so I would prefer waiting a little more.

The question now becomes should we backport 0.95 with a patch to
remove the annoying warning on the console ? I have no real opinion
about it. If someone thinks this is important, I can try doing the
stable-bpo. However this is documented earlier in this thread how to
circumvent printing of this warning.
