Done; I took the liberty of uploading to TPU already given you have basically already seen the diff (modulo the version and some version boubds). The full testing -> tpu diff is attached as itext_tpu.diff and I also included an interdiff. >> I have attached the debdiff between libitext-java in sid and testing >> to give you an idea of the changes involved.

Though I suspect if we did manage that, we could make Java libraries smooth updateable. ~Niels
