AFAIK binNMUs won't work for most java packages.
1. They work for languages where API (source level compatibilty) and
ABI (binary compatibility) are not the same. You will binMNU a package
whenever the ABI of a library changes but its API is still compatible.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but there is no such difference in
java.
2. You cannot binNMU an Architecture: all package but java packages
are usually of Architecture: all.
Cheers,
Torsten
