Bug#675495: Should not be released with Wheezy
Package: openjdk-6
Severity: serious
Upstream support for Java 6 ends in November:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/eol-135779.html
As such, we should not include it in Wheezy and fix up the
rdepends to use openjdk-7 instead.
Especially, since openjdk is quite a burden to update even
for a single package (huge size, weird upstream situation with
bits of icectea mixed in).
An alternative would be to exclude it from security support
as we do for some web browsers, but that's a non-optimal
solution IMHO.
Cheers,
Moritz
