Dear fellow Maintainer,

https://bugs.gentoo.org/751562 points to two patches at
https://github.com/arduino/astyle/ which are supposed to fix it.
https://github.com/arduino/astyle/blob/master/patches/java_package_name.patch
looke like to be the one renaming some functions and a such breaking the
API between the Debian provided one and the one expected by Aruoino.

That patch got applied astyle-to 3.6.1 from 2024:
> Updated JNI interface to use Arduino IDE conventions

But Debian still has a very old version from ~2018:
	$ dpkg-query -W libastylej-jni 
	libastylej-jni:amd64    3.1-3+b3 

Latest is 3.6.10 from 2025-07: https://astyle.sourceforge.net/notes.html

I'm currently trying to build a new version of it locally.
