Right, although in a while the "Kore" class library should be able to
replace it...

I have no plan with it... I don't program in java anymore, and don't have
much time for packaging.
I orphaned kaffe in March 1997 (or so). Jim Pick told he would adopt it,
but never uploaded it. Ean told me he started to work on it about 1 month
ago, but still no upload AFAIK...
Kaffe is not trivial to package, but some of my packages (gdb, wine) are
much worse... What it really needs is some coordination with the
maintainer of the jdk package since kaffe and the jdk package shared a lot
of file diversions.
