Package: findbugs
Version: 2.0.2-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

The findbugs package contains an excellent opportunity to reduce space
on the mirrors and installations. The findbugs.jar, which makes up
almost half of the package, is shipped twice in the binary package[1].
Can you replace one copy with a symbolic link to the other? For details
on shrinking packages see https://wiki.debian.org/dedup.debian.net. If
you need assistance, please ask.

Helmut
