Apologies I didn't notice there were already things happening or I wouldn't have filed this bug so quickly. It seems
that libjogl2-jni has already been removed from unstable on the affected architectures. The binaries are however still
in testing. As far as I can tell for them to be removed from testing a couple of things need to happen.

Firstly https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=972432 needs to be actioned by the ftpmasters.

Secondly I believe that the removals from testing of libjogl2-jni and the arch-specific scilab binaries on i386 will
need manual intervention from the release team as it will make arch all packages uninstallable.
