Package: gcj-jre
Version: 4:4.3.3-9
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
The description says:
Description: Java runtime environment using GIJ/classpath
GIJ is a Java bytecode interpreter, not limited to interpreting bytecode.
It includes a class loader which can dynamically load shared objects, so
it is possible to give it the name of a class which has been compiled and
put into a shared library on the class path.
.
The package contains as well a collection of wrapper scripts and symlinks.
It is meant to provide a Java-RTE-like interface to the GIJ/GCJ tool set.

$ dpkg -L gcj-jre

closing, wrong. see the hppa packages.
This answer is buggy: the hppa package also contains nothing:
http://packages.debian.org/sid/hppa/gcj-jre/filelist lists:
/usr/share/doc/gcj-jre
(which is just the symbolic link). According to the answer I got on
the debian-user list, this is the description that is incorrect. It
should be updated to say that this package is a dependency package.
it is *not* a dependency package; there are currently no tools like policytool
and javaws in this package.
