Hi Shaun,
the ITP bug of colt shows that it was packaged and uploaded to Debian,
snapshots.debian.org keeps a copy, and the git repository that contains the
source package stays available, not to mention that our discussion is public
and therefore indexed by search engines. I hope that this will be enough to
prevent people from repackaging from scratch.
Java support is evolving a lot in Debian (for the good), and I am sure that the
time we will save by not maintaining this package (even in experimental) will
be well employed, for instance with picard-tools and the igv.
Have a nice week-end,
