Package: src:libfreemarker-java
Version: 2.3.23-9
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-CC: elbrus at debian.org
Owner: pollo 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.

I believe I have a patch to fix this issue, and since this is
team-maintained package, I'm planning to upload it soon.

Cheers,
