  Description     : A logging library for C++

Log4cxx is the C++ port of log4j, a widely used logging library for
Java. Log4cxx attempts to mimic log4j usage as much as the language
will allow and to be compatible with log4j configuration and output formats.

Since log4j is already in Debian its natural to also 
include its C++ port. Additionally this could close Bugs #288336 and
#288337 in the long term because log4cpp is orphaned and the upstream
is not maintained anymore. Log4cxx is better maintained, and
a new version is in progress. Log4cxx should therefore replace
log4cpp.
