Yes, it does. They get replace with direct dependecies to the real
packages.

IMO this is a good thing until we can do the dependencies in a
findjava script. This is not yet implemnted in the proposed policy and
also not in the scripts.

Even worse, even if BD packages are installed (And BTW, recent BD
*packages* will probably crash on a recent sid. See the last mails in
debian-java or my eclipse buglog :( ), as sablevm seems to set a very
high u-a priority.
