The package is stuck in -proposed because it is failing to build.

   http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/update_excuses.html#i2p
   https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/i2p/0.9.33-2

Your build references /usr/lib/jvm/default-java/include/jni.h but you are
not build-depending on default-jdk, only on default-jre.  You seem to have
hard-coded a build-dependency instead on openjdk-9-jdk, which is not correct
and does not guarantee /usr/lib/jvm/default-java/include/jni.h will be
present on the system.  It happens to work currently in Debian because
openjdk-9-jdk is currently the default jdk.  This is not the default jdk in
Ubuntu, so it fails here.  The correct build-dependency is on default-jdk,
not on openjdk-$ver-jdk.

If you can upload a package fixed for this issue to Debian, and let us know
when this is done, we can sync the fix.
