This package has been superseded. Lucene 3.0.0 was released in 2009, and
is generally compatible with modern Lucene 2 applications. lucene3 is
packaged, as is lucene4.10. Lucene upstream is on 6, soon to be 7.

Lucene 2's last upstream release was 2010, which is the version we have packaged.

The rdepends are:

 * libclucy-clojure:
   - very low popcon
   - marked upstream is dead
   - RM or adopt fixed-upstream fork: https://bugs.debian.org/875391

 * pauker:
   - very low popcon
   - dead upstream
   - fixed upstream: https://bugs.debian.org/875388

 * zekr:
   - very low popcon
   - not in testing due to other obsolete dependencies
   - dead upstream
   - doesn't start
   - patch: https://bugs.debian.org/875398

..and eclipse-platform. Sigh.

Can we RM it?

Cheers,
Chris.
