This is, indeed, the nub of the problem and the point of my enquiry.

This is what I wanted to know. I guess my REJECT message wasn't clear
enough.
I get the impression Grzegorz really doesn't want it integrated into the
sablevm package and if the package really is of use to people other than
JVM developers then okay. But if it *really* is just a jvm tester with
no use to end-users, then it doesn't make sense to put it into Debian.
