[bug#31570] [PATCH 0/2] gnu: javacc: Bootstrap from javacc-4 instead of bootstrap binary.

Thanks for this.

The patches look fine to me.

Can we delete these things in a snippet instead?

(I vaguely remember that we didn’t use snippets for jars because
patch-and-repack wouldn’t support the jar format, but I don’t know if
that’s still the case.)
