The reverse of that would be: "Unless you want every package
maintainer to manually track the java stuff every time a new
architecture becomes java-enabled or java-disabled).

I think there are less people porting than people maintaining packages
using "nojava", so yes, I think porters defining nojava in their
environments would be a much better solution.

Thanks.
