libgdx requires v3 which is a major version and complete rewrite
https://github.com/LWJGL/lwjgl3

I checked v2 rdepends in buster and it's only recommended by a
metapackage. dak rm also shows "No dependency problem found." It seems
to have been included as a dependency of jMonkey Engine which itself
never made it: https://bugs.debian.org/587947

Although the [Building from source] instructions claim to only need ant,
doc/README.md says "Generator has to execute successfully" to build Core
which itself requires kotlin and indicates a potential builddep loop.
You can also see a "kotlinc-download" target in the [travis build log].

[travis build log]: https://travis-ci.org/github/LWJGL-CI/lwjgl3/jobs/639995245

I'm afraid this is probably at the limit of my skills for packaging
libgdx and mindustry, until someone else has uploaded kotlin.

The Kotlin packaging GSoC project seems to be doing well, latest post:

Hi all,

According to https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=892842#67,
it seems Kotlin is now in NEW. So maybe we may get kotlin soon :)
