Description
The josm Debian packages depends on proj-data for the grid files it provides.
With the release of PROJ 7.0.0 scheduled for March 2020, the proj-datumgrid repository which serves as upstream for the grids is deprecated in favor of the proj-data repo containing the grids in TIFF format and who are provided by the new CDN. See PROJ RFC 4: Remote access to grids and GeoTIFF grids for details.
JOSM should probably add support for the CDN to fetch grids on demand when it needs them and they're not locally available.
