Integration of Ehcache in Ubuntu

Registered by Jos Boumans

With the 10.10 release, we would like to integrate Ehcache into Ubuntu. This includes upgrading it to 2.1, pushing it to main, and start packaging the Terracotta stack to lead to the Clustered Cache feature.

Initial ehcache-2.1.0 packaging in PPA: DONE
Set appropriate targets for spec based on Terracotta's feedback: DONE
Check ehcache-core 2.1.0 compat with existing packages: DONE
Upload ehcache 2.1.0 in Debian or Ubuntu: DONE

mathiaz review / 20100526:
 - I would focus on upgrading ehcache to 2.1 as this is what we have the most insight on.
   - Agreed, fixed WI. Complexity=2 for the A2 targets, will reevaluate goals for A3.
 - We're lacking more insight on the terracotta stack and have WI defined for investigating what is required there.
   Depending on the outcome of the analysis I would create new specs/WI further down the road instead of using random "Target X" WI.

jib review / 20100526:
 * Suggested priority: 1
 * Suggested Subcycle: Every, staying in sync with Ehcache release
 * I'm not understanding what target 1/2/3 represent
   * Those were placeholders, as we are still missing Terracotta's evaluation on dependencies. I removed them. We'll review targets for A3 based on A2 experience --ttx
 * I'd like to see individual work items that are owned by upstream as well
   * Added that --ttx
