Last I looked there was a non free buildrequires on jimi for FOP.
The
jpackage.org stuff looks to be a cadillac build.
It's not really a requirement. Without jimi, FOP doesn't recognize .PNG images.
Native support for .gif and .jpg are supported without any external packages, though. FOP
can be built to support these non-free packages if they can be found at runtime, but
doesn't require them: they are runtime optional.
