I'll try to explain it as I understand it:

- pdftk is compiled by gcj using the C++ ABI, direct to native code
- iText is compiled to bytecode (and GCJ AOT .sos)
- pdftk used to bundle its own copy of iText; this isn't allowed by Fedora
- pdftk needs iText to provide a C++-style .so for linking

HTH,

Andrew
