Quoting IRC with Niels (2013-01-07):

11:01 <_rene_> ping?
11:06 <nthykier> yes
11:06 <_rene_> http://lists.debian.org/debian-openoffice/2012/04/msg00227.html 
               etc
11:07 <_rene_> no pkg-java answer since February 2011
11:07 <_rene_> I will send a last ping and if there's no reply just do it(tm) 
               once we unfreeze
11:07 <_rene_> see also 
http://packages.qa.debian.org/h/hsqldb/news/20130107T011735Z.html and 
               http://ftp-master.debian.org/new/hsqldb1.8.0_1.8.0.10-15.html
11:08 <_rene_> will also send a mail ping
11:09 <_rene_> but here jfyi ;)
11:09 <nthykier> perhaps not the day we unfreeze, but yeah - I think "silence 
                 is acceptance" is a good approach for the Java team atm, which 
                 is generally not very active anymore
11:10 <_rene_> mail sent

Nothing happened by now, so I *will* take this as silent consensus and
not ask any further. Will upload the new hsqldb after the freeze[1] and 
make LO use either the internal hsqldb 1.8.0 or libhsqldb1.8.0-java[2]..

Regards,
 
Rene
