Hello everybody,

in my understanding, libnetty-java is a relic of when we attempted to package
Eucalyptus in Debian.  However, there are two new packages, zookeeper and
bookkeeper, created recently, that depend on libnetty-java instead of the more
recent libnetty-3.9-java.

Is that because of incompatibility ?  If libnetty-java is still needed, would
it be possible to transfer it under the umbrella of the Debian Java team ?

Have a nice day,

Charles
