This problem is known, but it is not simple one to solve. 
jackson-jaxrs-json-provider is a new dogtag Java dependency which broke the 
package set on EL 7.0 which however brings a lot of and other build/runtime 
dependencies.

Question is how to solve this properly, this still needs some work and 
discussion to happen as current approach obviously do not scale, as you noticed.

For now, the biggest priority for the team is to work on FreeIPA 4.1.x 
stabilization release and fix any remaining issues for Fedora 21.
