You can either modify the .orig.tar.gz not to include the jars, or,
IMO a better choice, modify the building process to use the Debian
provided jars. I personally prefer keeping the orig.tar.gz as close to
the original as possible (for JSPWiki all the Debian package does is
repackage the zip as a tar.gz).
This process produces a nice and clean build process with the existing
debian/rules file.

If you are planning on doing a NMU then you need to split those out
and package them separately. All Debian packages must contain
buildable source for all code, and considering the JSPWiki package
doesn't contain source for the extra libraries, it is far better to
package them separately. If those libraries really aren't included in
Debian, 2.6.3 won't be packaged very soon by me.

No.
