Two weeks later, and rougly one month before the freeze? PING? Can you
(= pkg-java and Sebastien!) please answer?

Or is this silent agreement? 
(If so then please do not complain if a upgrade of libhsqldb-java from 1.8.0.10 to
libhsqldb-java 2.2.8 breaks anything - you had advance warning.
I *will* do this change - and ake LO use libhsqldb1.8-java *for sure* in the next weeks
and libsqldb-java will become 2.2.8. And that upload will directly orphan the package.
UNLESS you object)
