Oof.  Right.  Of course.  Life lesson #667: do not make decisions based
on parsing apt-cache policy output while falling asleep.  (And yes, my
secret superpower is indeed writing long, elaborate, internally
consistent e-mail messages while falling asleep, thank you for asking!)
I honestly thought that it *was* in Jessie and I was too far gone to
figure out what seemed odd about what apt-cache was telling me.

Okay, so now a couple of stuff is fixed in master and I've imported
0.56 - it only seems to contain the croak("%s", ...) fix from the RC
bug.  However, I do not have access to mips porterboxen; maybe somebody
who does could try a build of libinline-java-perl from the Git repo?

Thanks for your understanding :)

G'luck,
Peter
