I hadn't spotted this Debian package!

I see 2 possibilities at this point:
(a) Build-Depends (without Depends) on libjson-simple-java and "merge" the content of its JAR into the orthanc-imagej package during the build, or
(b) Build-Depends + Depends on libjson-simple-json, and modify ImageJ's internal CLASSPATH to point to the libsjon-simple-java's JAR.

I do see how to implement option (a) by myself, but not option (b), as it involves patching a configuration file during installation/removal. Do you think that option (a) is sufficient wrt. Debian package policy?

Thanks,
Sébastien-
