So classpath & libgjc *together* provide java1-runtime?
Not really. The two projects are separate, but they are both GNU
projects, and share a lot of code. However, libgcj does not "use"
or "depend" on classpath as a separate package. They have separate
CVS repositories and independent releases. But while most Java
classes have the same source in both collections, some classes are
different. The ClassPath project is meant to provide Free
implementation of Java classes for use by multiple Java implementations.
libgcj sometimes uses different implementations, especially when
there is native code, for which GCJ prefers CNI over JNI.
Bottom line: Classpath is "upstream" to libgcj, but from a
Debian packaging point of view there is no relationship.
