Hi Matthias,

Thank you for the reply.

Thanks, I'll give that a go.

I suggest the gcj-5 package description is updated to reflect this.
Or, consider renaming it: 'gcj-5' is a pretty reasonable guess if you are
trying to figure out which package gives you GCJ 5 with no insider knowledge
about how the package is layed out (as I was). If this is only really for
cross builds maybe the package name should have -cross- in it or something?

Ah yes GFDL. That is a pain. However, it doesn't get you around Debian
policy 12.1...

Perhaps I could have a go at writing one.
