Yes yes, I understand why you don't like it. What I wanted was an

I know that the unofficial j2se1.4 packages consistently crash under
certain conditions when using JNI with C++ code; this is related to the
fact that the j2se1.4 packages are still built using g++-2.95 whereas
the default C++ compiler for debian is g++-3.x.

FYI, all upstream probably needs to do is update their admin/ directory with
a f

Though I would first like to elicit opinions from other developers on whether
they feel this is the correct action to take at this point.
So. Do people support this move or not?

Is there a simple or recommended way of making a package depend on

Broken in what sense?
Kivio 1.2.x certainly had its problems as one of the more unloved
