Bug#979723: Please drop the Build-Depends on jruby

[Louis-Philippe Véronneau]

Package: src:libspring-java
Version: 4.3.28-1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-CC: elbrus at debian.org

Dear maintainers,

At the moment, jruby in Debian is pretty broken [1] and probably should
not be in the next Debian Stable release.

Since this package build-depends on it, jruby is in the "key packages"
list and is thus not subject to autoremoval from testing, although it
has multiple RC bugs.

AFAIU, the support for jruby in libspring-java is optional. Would it be
possible to remove it so that jruby can be taken off the "key packages"
list and be removed from testing?

Cheers,
