Hi Hilko,

thank you for working on java stuff. I can perfectly understand your 
frustration. We're well aware of many shortcomings of our tools and the 
general pain of packaging java software. We're slowly working on improving the 
situation and can only kindly ask for patience and help.

I haven't read all of your mail yet but will do so when I'll have my next time 
slice to work on debian-java.

Regards,
