No, as free-java-sdk uses alterniatives to point to the VM its uses its
not predictable byt the build environment what VM it uses during build.
Debian packages need to use a predictable build environment like
Kaffe or SableVM or perhaps GCJ but thats not so easy currently.
MovingToMain is only about the status of debian packages that are not in
main yet. It would not be good to add a introduction into the free java.
BTW: Free Java does not exist in reality and I would not recommend to
name anthing officially with Java in its name. Java is a registered
tradmark by SUN. The Fedora Java effort currently thinks about a name too...
I would call it "Classpath community" but this is only my personal
preference and I'm prejudiced because I'm part of GNU classpath project.
