Dear Martin,

It would be really great to have software like cytoscape in Debian! For
the moment, we have posponed most of our Java work because we lack
Java experts and because the GPL'ed Sun JAVA is not yet available in
Debian. However, this is changing as a preliminary wrapper has been
uploaded to the NEW queue:

http://ftp-master.debian.org/new/icedtea-java7_7~b24-1.5-2.html

I strongly suggest that you consider using it for building a Debian
package.

For the technical help about Java, honestly I think that you will find
more on a specialised list such as http://lists.debian.org/debian-java/.
But feel free to keep us CCed, we have much to learn! Also for the
sponsoring and the package hosting (you want to keep the debian
directory in a SVN repository, don't you ?), I guess that you can count
on us.

Have a nice day,
