If someone has a better insight into the Maven 2->3 transition, please add some information to this page or even create a dedicated one. I took Emmanuel's objections into consideration and chose severity "normal" for libcommons-httpclient-java and libservlet2.5-java. The former library has a large number of reverse-dependencies and some bigger projects have not even started the migration yet. But forwarding those bug reports should raise awareness at least. Only upstream can really solve this issue. We discussed libservlet2.5-java again on IRC and Emmanuel's point of view is that keeping libservlet2.5-java has value despite the fact that we removed other implementations like libservlet2.3 or libservlet2.4 in the past. I think the merit of this bug reporting is that it reminds us of old or obsolete libraries which can be replaced. At some point in the future they will be removed from Debian. Therefore I don't consider it to be "more" work but work which must be done eventually. Everyone feel free to decide for yourself.
