That depends on the person you ask. ;-)
I just spoke with some people on #debian.de irc channel and came to the conclusion that
it is possible that two source packages build the same binary packages. After eclipse
3.1-10 is ready I will start to make the binary swt packages built from eclipse compatible
to the ones built from swt-gtk (same package names and same files inside). This will
make it possible to upload eclipse into the archive in the near future.
Thanks for your interest, Steve.
Regards,
Michael
