Hello Emmanuel,
This is the only circular dependency involving a libmaven* package, so
it is not that bad. 

Cheers,
Bill.

Hi Bill,

There are many circular dependencies in the Maven ecosystem. I don't
think this is really an issue though, none of these libraries have
maintainer scripts that may trigger an issue during upgrades.

Package: libmaven-plugin-tools-java
Version: 3.6.0-1
Severity: important

Hello Debian Java Maintainers,

There is a circular dependency between libmaven-plugin-tools-java and
libsurefire-java:

libmaven-plugin-tools-java  :Depends: libsurefire-java (>= 2.22.1)
libsurefire-java:Depends: libmaven-plugin-tools-java (>= 3.6.0)

Circular dependencies are known to cause problems during upgrade, so we
should try to avoid them.

Cheers,
