But nobody is doing Java development today on architectures without a JIT compiler. The buildds aren't affected because they are installing neither Suggests nor Recommends. > Considering that OpenJDK (which has JIT) is available on most > architecture these days I also support moving -gcj packages to > 'Suggests'. Counting the votes from the list and the bug reports: 7 votes for Suggests and 1 vote for Recommends. I think we SHOULD have a package relation of 'Suggests' but we MAY use 'Recommends' for individual packages if there are good reasons. (SHOULD and MAY as in RFC 2119) BTW, there are some packages without a relation. They should be fixed.
