My plan for the upgrade path was to release pdftk 2.02-3 as an
transition package that depends on pdftk-java.

Currently, pdftk-java is the only working alternative, but maybe
upstream or someone else finds another way to solve the GCJ issue...

seems to be a bit misleading, since the upstream is different.
(The pdftk binary itself is currently provided by update-alternatives in
pdftk-java)

What do you think, Andreas?

Best wishes,
