Everyone should (carefully) read the Apache License 2.0 section 4(d). It turns out that Apache has a somewhat unusual definition for the term "derivative work". It has to be something you actually modified, not just include. So the incubator approach seems correct; neither the HSQLDB notice nor the Jetty notice belong in the Solr NOTICE.txt file.
For ManifoldCF, I just moved them to the end of the README.txt. The old notice text is different from the corresponding LICENSE.txt text in both cases, so it did not make sense to either eliminate them or move them to LICENSE.txt.
