Yeah, I saw this message. Well done.

It wasn't me, although I had a small hand in organising it :-)

It had no response. I presume that's because it re-ships the jars it
requires rather than depending on existing Debian packages where
they're available.  If I were to suggest a starting point, it would
be to get its dependencies up to date.

I agree, shipping the jars from the upstream source is quite a violation
of Debian's policy, so this upload won't be accepted I think.

It could go back into non-free until the dependencies are sorted out, surely?
