13 Michał, as already discussed with Pacho [1], emul-linux-x86-jna can just
14 go away entirely. Nothing requires it and it doesn't make any sense
15 without emul-linux-x86-java though I note that isn't in the list either;
16 I thought it would be. Java herd is struggling with the regular VM
17 packages enough as it is, we could really do without supporting this
18 one as well. I very much doubt that end users need it any more. Any
19 objections to removing it?
