I am not aware of any such policy as "one and only one version": one could have a "groovy" and a "groovy2" package and hence both could be packaged (and used) in parallel (or not, if one decides that both can't exist on the same machine at the same time). It's just not automatic, someone needs to take the decision and make sure the dependencies and paths are set right.The core problem here with the Java and Groovy support on Debian is the policy of one and only one version, and no use of Maven Central or Bintray/jCentre for build.
Cheers, Eric --I'm subscribed on debian-java, debian-mentors, pkg-java-maintainers and pkg-vdr-dvb-devel.
No need to CC me on these lists.
