It is not a compile-time error to name the current package or java.lang
in a type-import-on-demand declaration. The type-import-on-demand
declaration is ignored in such cases.

That must be why the other compilers blow it off. Also, in the same
section, import statements of the form
import package.typename.*
are valid. (Try compiling with 'import java.math.BigDecimal.*' for
example.)
Looks like a compiler bug to me. Submitted to upstream maintainer. Is
there any extra reason to add it to the Debian BTS?
