Package: libjogl2-java
Version: 2.3.2+dfsg-9
Tags: bullseye, sid
x-debbugs-cc: scilab at packages.debian.org
x-debbugs-cc: king at packages.debian.org

Justification: rc policy: packages must be buildable in the same release.

libjogl2-java can no longer be built on 32-bit architectures, specifically armhf and i386
(it is already not built on armel of mipsel) because swt4-gtk no longer supports 32-bit
architectures.

Potential soloutions would be.

1. Fix swt-gtk4 so it builds on 32-bit architectures again (probably not very practical given that upstream have abandoned support)
2. Modify libjogl2-java so it can build without swt (no idea how possible this would be).
3. As a last resort, remove libjogl2-java from 32-bit architectures. It seems that there are two reverse dependencies that
    would be affected by this, scilab and king.
