Why can't these java package(s) just be not built on "non-java" architectures? I just looked around a bit around with build-rdeps openjdk-6-jdk and then ran rmadison on randomly selected resulting packages to find some that have Arch: any packages in addition to the java ones ... First hit was swi-prolog You may want to take a look at their approach to combine building both Arch: any and *-java packages from one source. It seems to boil down to make the java package(s) Arch: some instead of Arch: all. IIRC splitting source packages to create multiple source packages (or reintroducing copies of the same source in the archive) is not recommended. I'm pretty sure the problem of Arch: all packages being not buildable on all architectures (because some build-deps(-indep) are not available on all architectures) has been discussed before.
