None of which sounds to me like a reason to ship multiple copies. The security implications of any one version are bad enough, without having multiple versions to worry about; so I would fervently hope that by the time we're ready to ship gcjwebplugin in stable we would have this narrowed down to a single upstream version that works on all archs we're going to support. (Indeed, it looks like gcj-4.1 is the only supported version of gcj for etch anyway?) -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
