Hi, I trying to figure what is the correct way to declare dependencies of JAR files from other packages, I first asked this in debian-debel, but have been forwarded to this list, see forwarded message below.

I'm upstream developer for zeroc-ice, in one of the packages build from this source zeroc-icegridgui, a bug has been reported regarding missing JAR dependencies (Bug#846498). The package in question uses java:depends but that seems to not work here or maybe is not being used correctly: https://github.com/zeroc-ice/ice-debian-packaging/blob/3.6/d ebian/control#L290-L293 dpkg produces a warning dpkg-gencontrol: warning: Depends field of package zeroc-icegridgui: unknown substitution variable ${java:Depends} What is the correct way to declare the dependencies for JARs include in separate packages?
