The latest 2.9.1 version embed version 4.0_RC1 of asm, while the Debian
libasm4-java package is more recent (4.1). The package fails to build
with the current libasm4-java package (ditto once upgraded to 4.2) with
19 errors, and also fails to build with the current libasm3-java package
(2 errors).

My Java foo is quite limited, and I have no idea how to fix the current
build issues. On the other hand, I already updated the existing patches,
prepared a few more patches to make it build further, and simplified the
repack with the new uscan Files-Excluded feature.

Shall I push my current work in progress to Git, eventually in a wip
branch so one can review it before eventually including it to master?

Regards

David
