Re: Bug#904978: ITP: protobuf-2 -- This is the protobuf pacakge but version 2.6.1 same as that foudn in jessie but is being packaged to unstable since kotlin-1.1.1 needs it. p.s kotlin-1.1.1 is also being packaged to unstable.



Unfortuantely even the latest version of Kotlin still uses Protobuf 2.x, so it's not going anywhere in a short time. This package will only build the Java libraries, everything else is stripped.

Though your suggestion works on another dependency of Kotlin, `spullara-cli-parser`, which is no longer used by the latest Kotlin. Thanks!
