I would also like to have this spelled out somewhere. Though policy's
requirement, for virtual packages to appear in the list of virtual
packages, is only a SHOULD, it would be good to have this in place.
3.6 Virtual Packages
[...]
All packages should use virtual package names where appropriate,
and arrange to create new ones if necessary. They should not use
virtual package names (except privately, amongst a cooperating
group of packages) unless they have been agreed upon and appear
in the list of virtual package names. (See also Virtual packages
- Provides, Section 7.4)

Like Eric, I am not sure what to depend on (right now I am
build-depending on "default-jdk-builddep" which I found somewhere in the
archive, and which is not really correct, since I require a java 5
compatible SDK.
Best regards
Ben
