Hello Andreas,

If you're willing to migrate these to the pkg-java repo, I'll work on
updating them and uploading them as Java Team packages.

Also, I've been meaning to send you a mail regarding libsnappy-java,
since we have an RC bug there.  The last commit makes it appear that you
were considering moving it debian-med in 2012.  Is that still the case?

Cheers,
tony
