I haven't tested it, and it doesn't matter. Thanks for the link, since it is
nice to have a JDK packages for Debian, but as long as it isn't in non-free
(it can't be in main), it wouldn't be right to declare dependencies on it.
This would in turn mean, that if I were to file an ITP on those Java-packages
I would love to see in Debian, they would be partly-broken, since they'd have
no way to depend on the JDK.
Who made the deb? And is the person willing to maintain it?
