You most certainly don't need the Servlet API 2.2, the package should 
build against libservlet-api-java (Servlet API 4.0) with minor 
adjustments (if any).

If jigadmin and jigedit aren't necessary, don't package them. Also don't 
bother packaging the javadoc.

Typical packaging for a command line tool that can be used as a library:
- bin:libfoo-java contains the jar in /usr/share/java (and maybe the 
Maven artifacts in /usr/share/maven-repo)
- bin:foo depends on libfoo-java and a Java runtime, contains scripts 
and related files in /usr/share/foo

If vnu doesn't require the webapp, do not package it. Let's keep things 
simple (and fun).
