Even if default-jdk package will soon become alias for openjdk-7 [1], for
now it's a mix of openjdk-6 on some platform and GCJ (vaguely Java 5
compliant) on others.

It means that if someone try to build a package which use JAF (and so
Build-Depends only on "default-jdk") it will fail on platform using GCJ.
For this kind of needs, I think we could use a versionned Build-Depends on
"default-jdk (>= 1:1.6)".

What do others team's members thinks of this ?
