IMO thats a wishlist bug. As long as I don't think that a package can
enter main (-> is *running* with free environment), its up to the
packager to package his package.
Changing it will not be a big problem, as there are at least two
compielers (eclipse internal and jikes), which will probably compile
every java programm 'out of the box'.
'running in main' is probably another question...

I think its the other way round: YOu go into main and have the buildd.
Then you have to make sure that they are building your package. You
will get a grave bugreport when your package isn't compiling (not only
from the buildd).
