Unfortunately the Java changes cause the libhdf4 package to FTBFS on
several architectures, it built successfully on all before.

If you can provide patches to fix the build failures I'm willing to keep
the Java changes, otherwise I'll revert those before moving the package
from experimental to unstable.
