No, you either have to have <realjvm> | javaX-runtime, or nothing, policy (real policy) doesn't allow depends on virtual packages.

Ok, can I suggest a compromise. Build-depend on default-jdk and then at build time compile with default-jdk and, if openjdk is installed, use it to run the test suite. Matt -- Matthew Johnson
