I already pushed some trivial changes to the repo to migrate
libspring-java to groovy2.

Emmanuel sent a patch for this. Please see #805627.

To package libspring-java new upstream releases is a task that would
be very appreciated although is not easy but with the recent progress
in Maven and Gradle helpers (thanks to Emmanuel again!) maybe this is
something more feasible nowadays.

Regarding red5, I'm not quite sure how much is used in Debian
nowadays. Maybe we should contact Damien to check if he agrees to
transfer its maintenance to pkg-java. I'm ccing him just in case.

Cheers,
