There is a trademark problem. The java1|2 virtual packages were targeted
to Sun's, IBM's and Blackdown JVM version 1.1.x and 1.2. By extension,
we have use the virtual packages with java1 for free runtimes and java2
for non-free runtimes. But I'm pretty sure there is a legal problem here.

This is not a problem if you refer to a Sun trademarked Java product
(and affiliated vendors like IBM, Blackdown etc)
> java-jre-nonfree
> java-jdk-nonfree
So you think Sun will be OK with that? I'm not sure.

That's what we want but with classpath-* for free java and java-* for
non-free implementations.
