upstream maintains ant-1.9 and ant-1.10 separately

akonadi-contactstaken from the apache ant website:

The Apache Ant team currently maintains two lines of development. The 1.9.x releases require Java5 at runtime and 1.10.x requires Java8 at runtime. Both lines are based off of Ant 1.9.7 and the 1.9.x releases are mostly bug fix releases while additional new features are developed for 1.10.x. We recommend using 1.10.x unless you are required to use versions of Java prior to Java8 during the build process.

so the caveat is that ant-1.10 requires java>=8. Since we still maintain openjdk-7 in the repos, would it make sense to have apache-ant follow the 1.10 development and add a separate apache-ant-1.9 package to use if an openjdk-7 java environment is needed? Or would we just disregard the 1.10 line of ant?
