Thanks for your quick reaction. Could you please elaborate a bit on why
this is not release critical, so that I won't make the same mistake again?
I based the severity on the Lenny RC policy:
Packages must autobuild without failure on all architectures on
which they are supported. Packages must be supported on as many
architectures as is reasonably possible. Packages are assumed to
be supported on all architectures for which they have previously
built successfully. Prior builds for unsupported architectures
must be removed from the archive (contact -release or ftpmaster
if this is the case).
(quoted from http://release.debian.org/lenny/rc_policy.txt )
I can't see how an empty package that promises a "standalone application
to execute Java (tm) applets" can be called "supported". It certainly
looks unusable to me.
Put in another way: not having the standalone application at all on arm*
and mips* is certainly a wishlist bug, but distributing an empty package
instead looks RC to me.

OK.
