See the changelog entry from 12.1-1: netbeans (12.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium * Only build libnb-absolutelayout-java from now on. Drop netbeans and Co because it is not viable to maintain the editor in Debian. We recommend to install the flatpack version from flathub instead. (Closes: #925509, #929561, #960692, #815028, #805769, #920706, #922190) (Closes: #960749, #653132, #877626, #935008) * Remove Andrew Ross from Uploaders. He is not active anymore. -- Markus Koschany <[email protected]> Sat, 03 Oct 2020 22:51:24 +0200 So this was on purpose. Regards, Salvatore
