You forgot to do 'apt-cache policy j2sdk1.4', which shows that this package didn't come from sid. There are now j2sdk1.4 binary packages distributed by Debian, for license reasons; while grabbing the blackdown packages of this name is one option, java-package offers another, very real option, and should perhaps take precedence (or at least be acknowledged) in buildds given that it's the option for which the *packaging* is made available by Debian. OTOH, I'm not sure how strict we really want to try to be for build-dependencies of contrib packages. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
