this was my very latest change to the packaging.

I had felt that when the user apt-get installs libjgrapht-java, he should be asked about
the version he wants to install. Also, I did not want to disturb packages that depend on
libjgrapht-java today. If I had libjgrapht-java provided by the libjgrapht0.6-java package
and by libjgrapht0.7-java, then an apt-get dist-upgrade would render something previously
working suddenly unusable.

Many greetings

Steffen
