That is up to the maintainers of libsejda-java. My concern is with the
jts package.

Then I'll orphan it, and there'll be an unmaintained package in the in
the dependency tree for elasticsearch, h2database, spatial4j &
spatial4j-0.4.

I'd rather remove the jts package from Debian, but it's not appropriate
for me to request the removal of its reverse dependencies for which I'm
not the maintainer.
