However why is jortho embedded at all? Would it not be better to create a standalone source package for jortho which freeplance could depend on? If this version of jortho is heavily modified and only useful in the freeplane context, then you can most likely remove the separate package but the question remains why those changes haven't be upstreamed yet?
