Ok, IANADD -), try to keep up with Debian, but some of the internals
escape me...
I 'accidently' found this list via a mention on deb-dev, I think this
list is new, perhaps incidental to gcc-3.0 maintenance?

Good, that puts it very current, as of now anyway -). There were some
problems with the bootstrap just prior to this weekend. libstdc++ was
failing, trying to link the so with g++ (which added -lstdc++ -(( )

Has anyone at Debian looked into building gcj/libgcj without having gcj
presently installed? Is it a problem/issue with Debian's packages, or is
gcj/libgcj not part of this proposal?

There was/is a problem building libjava, it was not being passed the
proper -I flags to use libstdc++-v3 headers during compilation. I
haven't seen this resolved yet in gcc CVS. There are patches to correct
for this on the mailing list, but AFAIR they haven't been committed to
branch yet.
