Some updates on this:
* The Briar Project now offers official briar-headless.jar files at e.g. [0]
* briar-headless in Debian main is not only blocked by Kotlin, but also
by Gradle; both need to be packaged with recent versions before
packaging briar-headless can start
* Additionally, each (Gradle) dependency of briar-headless needs to be
packaged separately for Debian main
* Plans to get into next Debian stable release with a Debian contrib
binary were given up
* Efforts will now be focused on providing an official APT repository of
The Briar Project [1]
* A mail to debian-java confirmed all of the above [2]
Updates to this ITP will also be published at [3].
