Bug Description

Binary package hint: rhino

Rhino doesn't build in maverick, because its new xmlbeans build-dep is in universe.

xmlbeans needs a MIR (bug 552613). Note that the package build-depends on itself, so a manual build is needed.
plus it depends on libsaxonb-java which would need a MIR too.

Two days before FinalFreeze, it is getting late to do two MIRs and a FFe on rhino (which is used in a lot of top-level stacks, including eucalyptus) just to enable the E4X support.

In order to fix the FTBFS in Maverick we'll revert the E4X support in the source package, and we should definitely enable it in Natty (it's likely that we'll have a Java housekeeping spec in natty that will result in a few MIRs).
