Cleanups for java libraries in main for LTS
Lots of Java libraries were added to main following introduction of Eucalyptus in karmic. Since lucid is LTS, we need to review what can be done to clean up before committing to support those for 5 years. We also need to ensure that the Lucid java libraries stack is sufficient for (and fully compatible with) the expected Eucalyptus 1.7.

Review mdz 2009-11-30: This seems to combine three areas of work: general java library packaging work (e.g. updates, GWT, GCJ), Eucalyptus dependencies (should be part of the eucalyptus packaging spec instead) and Jetty packaging work (e.g. promoting it to main, no rationale?)
ttx 2009-11-30 -- I re-centered this spec on "java library packaging cleanup work", moving eucalyptus-
mdz 2009-11-30 -- looks good, approved
