I will push this in a few days and then let's see how we can proceed from here on. Why still 4.6? Jumping to a newer version like 6.x (which is already superseded by 8.x) requires updates of many different system libraries which in turn requires updates of reverse-dependencies of said libraries and so on. So whenever you change something in Debian's Java eco system you have to be prepared to fix a bunch of other seemingly (un)related stuff as well. More details follow soon.Markus
