So that we weren't forced to reinvent the wheel all the time - I'd suggest having the set of control files (for equivs) for those dummy packages included in java-common. I am offering myself to prepare them if java-common maintainer thinks too that this would be good. (Because of small size it wouldn't make much sense to have separate java-common-dummies package just with them). Regards Grzegorz B. Prokopski
