I would normally agree, but I believe that the upstream is dead (no
updates in 7+ years) and it's not just a substitution API, but would be
a reimplementation, but I'll leave the maintainer to decide the proper
course of action.
If openjdk-6 is to be removed in Jessie and there is no desire to port
this package, maybe it would be best to pro-actively remove it now.

Thanks,
