Kafka deserializer autodetection is not working for classes, implementing the Deserializer interface indirectly

[slinstaedt-hlag]

Describe the bug

Brief: Auto-detection seems to work, when a concrete deserializer directly implements org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.Deserializer, but fails to be looked up, when this interface is being indirectly (e.g. via a base class) inherited.

Expected behavior

Auto-detection works for all classes, implementing Kafka's Deserializer interface.

Actual behavior

Auto-detection fails to discover this potential deserializer class.
