+1 on this. It is time kaffe died a silent death. While this
appliaction served us well when we didn't have any free alternatives
for java, with appearance of openjdk the package is no more relevant.

1. Velocity is already fixed.
2. Patch for proguard is attached to bug 534029. Sam has promised he
will upload soon.
3. libvecmath1.2-java is unofficial unmaintained implementation of
vecmath api. We already have the official implementation in repository
(source vecmath), so libvecmath1.2-java needs to be removed. I will
file bugs against its rdepends (if any) for migration.
