No, as free-java-sdk uses alterniatives to point to the VM its uses its not predictable byt the build environment what VM it uses during build. Debian packages need to use a predictable build environment like Kaffe or SableVM or perhaps GCJ but thats not so easy currently. MovingToMain is only about the status of debian packages that are not in main yet. It would not be good to add a introduction into the free java. BTW: Free Java does not exist in reality and I would not recommend to name anthing officially with Java in its name. Java is a registered tradmark by SUN. The Fedora Java effort currently thinks about a name too... I would call it "Classpath community" but this is only my personal preference and I'm prejudiced because I'm part of GNU classpath project.
