Contrarily to what I wrote a few days ago, I do not think we are ready
to remove all included jars in igv.
For instance we would have to package libgoby-java, I have just made
some packaging effort on its new upstream version [0] after Andreas
began but, as Olivier noticed before on a previous upstream version [1],
there are still many jars missing in Debian.

We would also need to have the huge Amazon AWS SDK packaged...

I will thus work on #968739 and on the new upstream version but I am
afraid we will have to keep igv in non-free for the moment :-(
