Niels, You are sending mails to wrong list. This is just a upload/bug notification list. The discussions usually happen on debian-java list. I don't think the issue you mentioned is really serious as non-free JRE are added as alternative dependencies. As mentioned by Kalle I don't think this is disallowed by policy. >From the packages you mentioned both 'batik' and 'jcharts' use Sun specific APIs which are only available in Sun JRE or OpenJDK JRE. So we can not replace non-free JRE dependencies with virtual packages (java5-runtime etc) unless upstream uses generic APIs. azureus is known not to work with GCJ. That is the reason of dependencies on OpenJDK and Sun JRE. I am not sure about other packages. Onkar -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-java-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
