I have no plans for it. Patches to the downloader script to support
jdownloader2 beta are welcome.

I would love to see a proper jdownloader packaging, too.

I tried, but failed miserable. Some libraries needs to be packaged and
the upstream build system needs to be bent to build on Debian. I would
love to ditch the launcher and replace it with a proper package. This is
a lot of work. Until this work is done, I like to have this launcher in
the contrib archive. This is suboptimal, but better than nothing.

I think the description is clear enough (otherwise improvements are
welcome). The package is installer, launcher, and provides desktop
integration. If you have a strong opinion to rename the package, can you
provide name suggestions?
