That is expected, software in stable is only supported with other 
software in stable, i.e. with the Hibiscus plugin in stable.

This is too unspecific to call for an update in stable. From my 
understanding all updates are configuration changes that can be done 
with the stable version as well. Downgrading the bug accordingly.
Note that Debian stable updates have a strict policy noted here:

Sadly no, while upstream H2 is at 2.2.224 and the Debian package 
(libh2-java) is at 2.2.220, Jameica ships 1.4.199, this is why the 
jameica-h2database was created in the first first place. I will update 
it to 1.4.199 together with Jameica in unstable.
