Please remove jcaptcha from quantal

[James Page]

Please remove this package from Ubuntu quantal. It makes extensive use of internal Sun API's and as a result is not compatible with Java 7.

The one package that did use it no longer does - jenkins.

Original bug report:

During a rebuild test on precise with default-jdk switched to openjdk-7, a build failure was detected for jcaptcha version 2.0~alpha1-2.

See attached log for full build failure details.

Reconfirmed in Ubuntu Quantal - adding ftbfs tag.
