Hi tony,

Thanks for working on this!
I think we need to ping upstream about missing hej/data folder in the
last tag. Without it xml-maven-plugin or epubcheck won't work [0].
My other concern is Schematron upgrade [1]. We might actually want to
package SaxonHE 9.8.0.7 or newer to support both XSLT 1.0 and 2.0.

Bug#808211: saxonhe: Versions 9.6 and 9.7 should be installable at the same time

[tony mancill]

Hello Eugene,

I'm working on packaging checkstyle 8.8 which requires SaxonHE 9.8.  I
put together a package for the newer saxonhe (in experimental) and I can
successful build the r-deps within Debian using ratt.  However,
comparing the 9.7 and 9.8 libraries with japi-compliance-checker, I'm
reluctant to upload the package to unstable because there are so many
breaking changes between the versions.

Do you have any advice or thoughts about what we should do for buster?

Thank you,
tony
