*Good news:* I was able to update libtrapperkeeper-metrics-clojure by
patching out Jolokia. It means reduced features (see #978402), but it's
better than nothing.

*Bad news:* jruby is in a bad state in Debian and currently cannot be
used (see [1]). This pretty much means puppetserver won't be in the
archive until someone decides to maintain jruby again.

So short of a miracle, puppetserver will most likely not be in Bullseye.
