Also, you should consider build systems which switch using the alternatives system. Debian Java policy says that debian/rules must specify the build system to use explicitly, but there are a number of packages which don't. These will build if only their build-depends are installed or if their build system is the current alternative, but not if they were installed in a different order. Matt -- Matthew Johnson
