Indeed, GraphBuilder was added to Guava 20, and Streams to Guava 21.
Thank you for checking.

Yes, I was waiting for your confirmation before uploading to unstable.

Yes it's possible for Java libraries and we do it sometimes. Uploading a
libguava19-java package is an option, but that might not be necessary
since I've patched Guava 29 to preserve the backward compatibility. I
think I've fixed most (and hopefully all) of the regressions reported by
ratt.
