Good catch. It looks like the jar was already embedded in the first
upload 6 years ago. XMLBeans has an option to use an alternative XML
parser (with XmlOptions.setLoadUseXMLReader()) but it's never used in
Debian. So the Piccolo parser is indeed used.

Piccolo is a rather old parser, I don't think it's worth packaging it. I
suggest patching xmlbeans to use the standard JDK parser instead.
