Hi Jari, hi Miguel,

Thank you for working on these issues.  Jari, I wanted to echo Miguel's
comment - for these team-maintained packages, my preference would be for
patches that don't reference an NMU, but instead contain "* Team upload"
in d/changelog.  You could also consider joining the Java Team.  :)

Thank you,
tony
