Hi Tim,

Regarding jruby 1.7, in the last weeks I was checking and testing its maven
build system to get a simple non-free .deb and after that my plan was to take
a look at the missing dependencies. So, thanks for sending this short list
of dependencies. I'll file ITP bugs for the ones I can package.

Yes, I am. I can take care of coro-mock and some simpler ones.

Cheers,
