You are right, dbus-java-bin should depend on "default-jre | java6-runtime | java7-runtime" instead of "openjdk-7-jre | openjdk-6-jre". > Similar question too: the previously quoted snippet from the Debian > policy manual indicates that any Java library should depend on > default-jre, whereas out of the half-dozen libraries that I clicked on > randomly(https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=commons&searchon=names&suite=testing§ion=all), > only one of them had a dependency on default-jre, so I'm wondering if > that's intentional? This is an error in the policy, thank you for spotting it. Java programs must depend on the required runtime, but not the libraries (and Lintian will complain about it [1]).
