Cc'ing to debian-legal: summary:
The major question is about replacing java1-runtime, java1-compiler,
java2-runtime and java2-compiler virtual packages by classpath-jre,
classpath-jdk for free java implementation and java-jre and java-jdk for
non-free implementations. More informations on the bug report #365408.
Thanks to Cc to the bug report.

No because java programs that work with free implementations will depend
on classpath-jre.

I think we have to ask on debian-legal about this but I'm sure we cannot
use the java word if it's not something that has been approved by Sun.

Cheers,
