From a “Required Skills” section of a recent position description:

The long-overdue release of java-package 0.28

Filed under: GNU/Linux, Debian, Free/Open Source Software, Java — Barry Hawkins @ 11:46 pm

An updated java-package will hit unstable in the next mirror pulse. Apologies to all for the delay; my discretionary time and that of my sponsors has been rather sparse for some time now. There are at least 9 bug reports addressed in the release. All users who have a JRE or JDK packaged by a previous version of java-package are encouraged to first remove their existing packages and then install an updated one generated by 0.28. Again, sorry for my low level of productivity for Debian, but paying my bills and being a new dad has been quite taxing (albeit rewarding) the past nine months.
