I took a look at this and I'm uncomfortable with the patch that you've suggested. The issue here is that I want to ensure that the installed libgcj-dev matches the version of gcj that is used. This was in fact the reason for the latest libreadline-java upload. The current build-depends are (gcj-3.3 && libgcj4-dev), which ensures a version match. The suggested replacement of (gcj && (libgcj4-dev || libgcj-dev)) does not ensure a version match. If gcj defaults to gcj-3.4, then you could have gcj-3.4 but libgcj4-dev (not libgcj5-dev which matches gcj-3.4). Moreover, both libgcj4-dev and libgcj5-dev provide libgcj-dev. This means that you could have gcj-3.3 (the default gcj on i386) combined with libgcj5-dev (provides libgcj-dev), which again gives mismatched versions. If you have suggestions for working around these problems, I'd love to hear them. In the meantime, I'd prefer not to apply the given patch because of the problems above.
