Yes kaffe provide it so you do not need to list kaffe if you list java1-runtime and java-virtual-machine. > So, here's my (hopefully) final question.

If not, can someone suggest a > line that will satisfy everyone? But you do not need to depend on any of the above except java-common if you _know_ that it works if you compile it to native code for some purpose. The usefulness of that can be discussed.
