Package: libreoffice-canzeley-client
Version: 0.5.1-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Hello,

we would like to remove libmysql-java from Debian because it is
frequently affected by security vulnerabilities which are not fully
disclosed. This makes it hard to determine the impact of such a flaw.[1]
However we also have libmariadb-java which is a drop-in replacement
and upstream is more transparent about security issues.

Please find attached a patch that make the necessary changes to
the Debian packaging.

Regards,

Markus
