Specifically, this does appear to be another instance of the general
problem from #580148.

gcc-4.4-base 4.4.4-7 ships /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.4.4/, 4.4.4-8
ships /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.4.5/ and the new gcj-4.4-base
packages have symlinks pointing to the latter.  gcc-4.4-base is already
installed in the chroots and often won't be the latest version unless
something has forced an upgrade, whereas gcj will be installed each time
if the buildd is using lvm snapshot chroots; the end result is that the
symlinks end up dangling.

afaics, gcj-4.4-jdk's dependency on gcc-4.4 needs to be bumped to >=
4.4.4-8.
