libjna-posix-java has been renamed libjnr-posix-java; this is inline with upstream changes. However build is now maven based so pulls in a load of extra dependencies. The package ships both ant and maven build files so it may be possible to switch back.

I'll also look to see if jython could be demoted.

Two packages b-d on jython:

libmx4j-java
libbsf-java

Jython is an optional build dependency of both so it would be possible to drop this feature in both packages.

I highly doubt that anyone is actually using jython with these libraries but I might be wrong.

libbsf-java: jython integration already disabled; removed dependencies
libmx4j-java: remove jython dependencies; disables the ability of run python through a JMX interfaces - unable to find and rdeps which use both this package and jython.

Marking all tasks 'Invalid' as jython can now be demoted to universe along with other un-used dependencies.
