That is great news! Let me know once you get the feedback.
I'll await that answer before i start working on a package... If it is not
clear wether the answer if positive or not, i'll go ahead and make the
package anyway... if it turns out to be positive later we can drop the
package then....
Uptill then, it would at least say that Debian *is* Java 1.3 aware and solve
that OpenOffice discussion on debian-devel.... The installer *btw* could go
into main, i guess... is that true?
