Bug#799007: bouncycastle: please package a newer version or upload 1.51-1 to unstable

[Markus Koschany]

I have been working on jakarta-jmeter and tika. Tika can be fixed by
upgrading to the latest upstream release which is 1.11~rc1.
Jakarta-jmeter needed a patch because even the latest upstream version
isn't ready for bouncycastle 1.51 or later yet.

My proposed patch for jakarta-jmeter is here:

https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-java/trunk/jakarta-jmeter/debian/patches/08_bouncycastle-1.51.patch?revision=18921&view=markup

The tests still work with this one but I would appreciate another look
and feedback before I forward this patch upstream.

Tika:

https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-java/tika.git

I am currently struggling with Tika because Maven complains about
missing artifacts. It has something to do with one of Emmanuel's patches

https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-java/tika.git/tree/debian/patches/06-optional-parser-dependencies.patch

Although I have marked every new dependency for the parser module as
optional like before, Maven still requires those dependencies. I could
add all of them to maven.ignoreRules but this doesn't really look like
the preferred solution to me. I hope Emmanuel can shed some light on
this issue.

At the moment I'm trying to fix libitext-java and libitext5-java.
