[jruby] Package based on latest upstream

[Sébastien Delafond]

Hi fellows,

I've been packaging jruby 1.6.7.2, and would like to upload it quite
soon, in hopes of beating the freeze and having a decently recent
version of jruby in wheezy.

I'm attaching to this email the diff between 1.5.6-3's debian/
directory, and mine, the main change being that I've had to give up on
depending on jars already packaged in Debian, and needed by jruby:
either their versions are too old or too new, but in all cases I
couldn't get jruby to compile and pass its unit tests when using
those. When using the jars shipped in the jruby tarball, building goes
fine and tests do pass, which is reassuring to say the least.

I agree it's a valuable goal to depend on software already packaged in
Debian (instead of re-shipping jars), but I unfortunately don't have
the bandwidth to bring all those third-party packages up-to-date; this
could be tackled later, but having a current jruby in stable for the
next release cycle seemed a more important goal right now.

Please let me know how you feel about this potential upload.

Cheers,

--Seb
