how does this compare to the packages started by Michael?

It may be better to build on top on the existing packaging. It's there for a
reason. I think your approach makes it difficult to update the package in the
distribution. Please make sure that your package does build on platforms like
mips, powerpc and sparc as well.

No, it's bad for all those platforms which don't have a JIT. It's a different
(good) thing to build with OpenJDK, but don't drop the -gcj packages.

these have to be removed from the source, not deleted at build time.
