Please remove drools from precise

[Andreas Moog]

The only reverse-depends of this package (eucalyptus) has been removed from Ubuntu.

Fixing this FTBFS will require a major version upgrade which seem pretty pointless as nothing will actually be using it.

Please remove it from the precise archive.

This version of drools is not compatible with antlr 3.2.

I look at a porting patch but not yet as I noticed that its only dep is eucalyptus for which is currently proposed for removal from the archive.

If that is the case then this package should be rm'ed as well.
