Bug Description
Binary package hint: libpdfrenderer-java
libitext-java picked up a new build-dependency in jaunty that we want to have in main.
This is only used for building an extra libitext-rups-java which is not needed by anything else in main, so in the worst case we could disable building this binary package rather than promoting libitext-java; but this decision should be made soon so that we can clear this out for jaunty.

PDF renderers not linked to poppler create too high a support burden. Vulnerabilities in PDF parsing are frequent and dangerous. This package should link directly to poppler rather than re-implement PDF parsing on its own.
