RC bug fixing

    * ftpd-ssl

    * gnopernicus
      * FTBFS due to broken configure.in.
    * commons-httpclient
      * Didn't include necessary files due to build-system breakage. (And the reason I prefer not to use cdbs).
    * somaplayer
      * Put the same files in two binary packages that didn't conflict. (Actual sponsored NMU by Myon)
