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