Actually the issue is the classpath used by arduino, it contains only 
bcprov.jar and should now also include bcutil.jar. This can't be done at 
the src:bouncycastle level and must be changed in src:arduino, here:

https://salsa.debian.org/electronics-team/arduino/arduino/-/blob/debian/2%251.8.19+dfsg1-2/debian/arduino.links?ref_type=tags#L25

The arduino package will also require a dependency on libbcutil-java.
