I am currently trying to build the complete Eclipse BIRT to match upstream, which expands its dependencies to include itext. It does not make sense for packages like this to need gcj in its dependency tree, as the only build available in Fedora includes. Perhaps pdftk could be static build the .so files?

I don't think this is possible. After all, the .so stands for "shared object". Maybe we can split the gcj dependency into a subpackage and require that package by pdftk. Jochen, do you have any other ideas?
This appears to be done, thanks.
