<long stream of expletives deleted>...  I'm frustrated by this because
I thought we had addressed the compile-time rdeps by building everything
and reaching out to package maintainers when there was compile-time
breakage.  And I didn't anticipate the run-time breakage.  Long-term, I
think it is worth discussing how best to support Java applications in
main, since it often feels like we're swimming against the stream trying
to support system-level JARs for everything packaged for Debian.

But short-term, I'd like to ask for the team's input on what I needs to
do to clean up the mess I have made by introducing the new version.  Is
it sufficient to rebuild all rdeps and then upload after a quick
run-time test?

Thanks for the input, and sorry for the noise,
tony
