I agree that this is important; unfortunately, with kaffe having been broken
as long as it has, I've had to start looking at what would be required to
remove from testing those packages that FTBFS with the current gjdoc.  Is
the next upload that you mention going to fix the gjdoc problems?

If we can actually count on kaffe/gjdoc being fixed and final by the end of
February, I think this is very good news.  Hopefully your tests before
uploading the new version will include checking on bugs #279374 and #285203
and fixing anything that needs to be fixed on the kaffe side to get rid of
these bugs.

Also, is #286264 still an open issue, or should it be considered closed with
the most recent upload?

Thanks,
