Would it help if I would package one (or more) of the kotlinx libraries?
The question is: which one?

https://salsa.debian.org/m36-guest/kotlin-bootstrap/-/tree/master/kotlinx
-> contains kotlinx-coroutines-core, kotlinx-metadata-jvm and
   kotlinx-serialization-runtime jars.

but none of these is still active:
https://github.com/Kotlin/

-> so would it make sense to look at kotlinx.coroutines (contains
   kotlinx-coroutines-core module) or
   kotlinx.serialization (contains a runtime module) now?

(kotlinx.coroutines has 10 dependencies, so I wonder whether it is
feasible for debian-java to package all kotlin libraries where each has
a number of sub-dependencies?)

Cheers and Best Regards,
