Sorry, I was unclear; the problem with the test suite is solved.
After having third parties work hard and consult their lawyers to solve the
problem, I feel reluctant to move EMBOSS to non-free because of source-less
jars.
I admit I should have triplechecked that the rest of the package is 100% fit
for main before bothering UniProt.
Given that these jars are already in main, I think that it would not hurt to
upload 6.4.0. Then I can write an email to the upstream developer list,
announcing the good news, enquiring for 6.5.0 (in the past they sent us
prereleases) and discussing how to build jebmoss using Debian's jars. Once
this is achieved, we can upload a stripped source package.
Thanks a lot for your help, I am still quite short of time this week...
