Yes, that's what I said above: It is a riddle to me which change
triggered it (also the last fop release was before the last Freeplane
release, which obviously worked for me), but having the debian/*.pom
would fix it :-)

I can confirm that this fixes the issue.

I kindly ask for your advice: Freeplane is due to be removed in 20 days,
so I tend to wait for libservlet-api-java, also because the rule would
be broken as soon as different version of javax.servlet-api enters
Debian (right?).
Will you also update r-deps (like libfop-java) and will it take less
than 20 days?

Many Thanks and Best Regards,
