Hmmm, looks like #592677 ought to be grave.

Maybe we can do an upload for Squeeze fixing that and possible fix some
dependency stuff (see below).

Actually we are in the process of adopting it[1]. Unfortunately I never
got around to finish it and the changes required to jspwiki are not...
"freeze-exception compatible".

One of the major changes is that jspwiki used to have all its dependency
libraries embedded within it and most of these have by now been replaced
with system jars. We got a dependency or two that is still unpacked though.
  Obviously we cannot deploy this kind of changes now without getting in
trouble with the Release Team. But jspwiki is the last package depending
on serlvet2.3 and it does not appear to use it anyway (instead it uses
its embedded version). I thinking we could remove this
(Build-)Dependency and then have servlet2.3 removed from Squeeze and
unstable. That would fix the "easy half" of #581024.

Also, I do not use jspwiki, so I would appreciate some jspwiki using
people working on this package (either with me or without me :P )
