I can't do a deep dive into netty currently but if you discover a circular
dependency I would try to disable those modules which require brotli4j or n=
etty
buffer first. You can ignore certain modules with debian/libnetty-java.poms=
 by
adding the --ignore flag. Try to get a minimum / bare bone version of netty
first. Another option is to patch out certain functionality like brotli if
that's too troublesome at the moment. Splitting the package into multiple
different ones is usually not necessary.

Regards,

Markus
