Hi,

We will have to upload a new version of swt-gtk as well (to 3.8).  It
has already been uploaded to experimental and I have successfully
rebuild all (non-eclipse) reverse dependencies of swt-gtk (using
3.8.0~m6-1).
  As far as I can tell we are looking at a small Java library transition
that is backwards compatible.
