Control files and builded debs are available at: http://www.home.sente.pl/greg/dummy-packages/ compressed in one file http://www.home.sente.pl/greg/dummy-packages/dummy-packages.tgz Those 5 debs are together only 11k in size, so we could almost as well just include _them_ in java-common ;-) not the *.control files If those *.control files go into java-common, then we should have at least Suggests: equivs in java-common. Regards Grzegorz B. Prokopski PS: Now I am gonna finally fix all the dependencies of my java packages ;-)
