[Debian-med-packaging] Reintroducing package libjai-imageio-core-java

[Mechtilde Stehmann]

Hello,

I want to reintroduce the package libjai-imageio-core-java with version
1.4.0

I read the RC-Bug with the reason for the removel in 2016. At that time
there was a dependency to the non-free package libjai-core-java.

(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=813117)

Now there is a community fork of the original java.net project
jai-imageio-core (which is no longer available upstream)

That project is called 'standalone' as unlike the original
jai-imageio-core it has removed dependencies to jai-core packages
(javax.media.jai) and JPEG 2000 (jj2000). This version also does not
include the C implementations from libJIIO, meaning that this version is
platform independent and fully redistributable under the 3-clause BSD
license in LICENSE.txt (and thus is Apache and GPL compatible).

I need this package to build a dependency of JVerein (ITP: 929477)

Are someone of the team working on reintroducing the package?

Kind reards
