Hi
Okay, I must have confused it with something else - I thought they were
backwards compatible. I will recall this RFS and undo the Provides on
SVN later, thanks for catching this. :)

Policy example for "replace package and force removal of the old" lists
a replaces, and I also added a symlink from servlet-api-2.3.jar to the
2.4 so with this upload they would have common files.

That would be ideal, but this is a package in poor shape in contrib. It
uses non of its Build-Depends (except ant and java), so you could just
trim out the B-Ds, however, I do not really want to do a "half-done"
upload of it.
I have imported the package to git [1] and started working on it. As far
as I can tell we do not have "jrcs-diff.jar" which is needed. We also
need some other libraries, but so far I have ignored those (since there
were code snippets in d/rules to build jspwiki without these).
There is also a new upstream release of jspwiki - I do not know if it
would make the situation better or worse. The current jspwiki compiles
against servlet2.5.
Anyhow, feel free to help me with this one - it would be really great to
get rid of servlet2.3 before Squeeze.
Note: Even if we get jspwiki into shape it will stay in contrib due to
jabsorb, which we had to move to non-free (upstream have been notified
about it).

Note: it is currently set to use the precompiled binarys. I have not
cleaned the tarball yet, so it complicates some rules. Just comment in
the commands in override_dh_auto_{build,clean} and apply the jabsorb api
patch. With that we have stripped out a small part and build with only
one binary jar.
