One more comment on the patch for this bug... It's a little odd that we're patching the build system for a specific version of json-simple *at build time* when none of the binary packages declares a dependency on this.
For a short period of time we're going to end up with a binary package built against the old json-simple that could fail at runtime once the updated json-simple lands in unstable/testing. This makes me think that we should probably force the issue and update the sources with a versioned build-dependency on 3.1.1, along with a runtime dependency for the appropriate binary package, which I believe is derby-tools (although it doesn't declare a dependency on libjson-simple-java currently). However, given that I'm able to run derby locally and interact with it without even having libjson-simple-java installed, I think that's secondary and shouldn't hold up the transition. We can revisit it as soon as the transition completes. The source package now runs the tests (with kudos to the lintian developers for adding a check that caught the incorrect dh override in debian/rules). Thanks again for the patch. Cheers, tony
