Binary package hint: libjava-gnome-java

We have 4.0.7 in Universe. Want to see the current, 4.0.9, version
packaged.  I have modified the summary of this request, which dates back
to 4.0.8, and updated it to include an overview of user visible changes
in 4.0.9.

AND WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE SUBSCRIBE THE https://launchpad.net/~java-
gnome-hackers TEAM TO THIS PACKAGE?

What's new for library users (4.0.9):

This is the first release with coverage of GTK's powerful
TextView/TextBuffer multi-line text display and editing Widget.

Continuous improvement to various classes, especially in our
documentation. Incremental changes have occurred in a number of places.
In the TreeView/TreeModel APIs, some useful methods for translating
TreeIters from one model to another have been added.

We have nice coverage of GTK's Assistant.  Better support for doing
popup context menus.  Virtually every class has been touched in one way
or another; most changes are cosmetic but they add up to significant
contribution.

Reduced memory pressure.

Easier to build and run java-gnome.


What's new for library users (4.0.8):

- Signal naming change
Since this version, all signals have new names, so new code should use this new names, as no new signal will be created with the old naming conventions. (Existing old names are preserved for compatibility)
- More API coverage and more improvements
- Updated and improved documentation

Please update this package so Intrepid Ibex could have this new version.
