Having java as a transitive dependency is unfortunate but it doesn't get
pulled into the enclosure, so I suppose it doesn't really matter, and
the java part really doesn't change that often.

The Java problem seems to have resolved itself, now we're at
python-afdko isn't passing its test suite on i686. Looking at the GitHub
actions and the issue tracker it looks like they don't do testing or
building wheels anymore for 32-bit platforms.
