The Debian package declares:
Depends: libzookeeper-java (= 3.3.1+dfsg1-2), default-jre-headless | java6-runtime-headless, adduser
which looks like it would allow the package to be installed on java-5
environments at first glance. That would be a grave bug by itself.
It also declares:
Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7.4.11), javahelper (>= 0.28), default-jdk (>=
1.6), ant (>= 1.6.0), liblog4j1.2-java (>> 1.2.15-8), junit4,
libxerces2-java, libjline-java, libnetty-java, javacc, default-jdk-doc,
python-all-dev, python-support, libboost-dev, libxml2-dev, liblog4cxx10-dev,
autoconf, help2man, libtool, automake, libcppunit-dev
Which is ALSO broken, due to the use of epochs in the default-jdk
versioning. It would have to declare a build-dependency on "default-jdk (>=
1:1.6)".
As it stands, it allows the package to be built under java-5, which appears
to be the reason for the FBTFS report from MIPS.
