The current plan is to RM kaffe from Debian as its dead upstream and not
needed anymore as we have openjdk now. We uploaded already some new packages
which depended on kaffe in the past and now don't anymore.

Do we really need a new version of kaffe shorty before RMing it?

(I know this was not documented in the according RC bug)


Cheers,
