Arccording to http://wiki.debian.org/Java/ShouldGoToMain argouml doesnt
run with free Java runtimes yet. This lowers the motivation for working
it a lot. We want to move all Java packages to the Debian main section.
this can only be done when a package can be built and run with purely
free software. To help with this you can e.g. test argouml with free
runtimes and report bugs to upstream so they can fix it. then when these
fixes enter Debian we can reconsider argouml and update it.

Cheers,
Michael
