Yeah, I assume there's a packaging repository or something around
somewhere, but I personally don't know how the actual Java packages were
maintained.  Maybe someone else on the list can weigh in on that.

I don't think they were done with java-package, since the Oracle Java
packages were maintained for quite some time after java-package was
removed from the archive, including packages of versions that would have
run into that java-package bug.  Unless they were done with a version of
java-package that wasn't uploaded, but that seems strange.
