Re: eight packages could possibly go to main!

In other words, I would be very wary of a GPL incompatible package that
has a "build-depends" on kaffe only, or a depends on kaffe only. (adding
a non-working build-depends or depends does not count).
I should illustrate this:
$ apt-cache showsrc junit
...
Build-Depends-Indep: debhelper (>= 4.1), kaffe (>= 1.1.1), jikes (>= 1:1.18-6), fastjar (>= 3.3.2)
...
Notice the Build-Depends-Indep: ..., kaffe ...
Now, look at the license of junit.
So, yes, it can be a problem for some of the current packages, IMHO.
