+1. We basically only need openjdk and gcj (and the cacao variant of
openjdk, which is performing much better on some platforms, it seems).

Just for clarification, by "the cacao variant of openjdk" did you mean
"icedtea-6-jre-cacao", which is a part of the openjdk-6 source package?

In fact, cacao variant of openjdk is built using "cacao-source" source
package which openjdk-6 Build-Depends on.

I will just give a couple of days for people to reply to this - assuming
no one objects, I will (probably) file the RMs on Monday or Tuesday.

So on "cacao" case, I'm against dropping this package :
- "cacao" source package generate "cacao-source" which if a
Build-Depends of openjdk-6
- I think we might not drop openjdk-cacao-variant as it's the only
viable JVM alternative on some arch (alpha, mips, mipsel ?)

the cacao source package and the cacao binary package should be dropped. the cacao-source source package and the cacao-source binary package built from this package should be kept.

if classpath should be kept, then it should build-depend on cacao-source, and use the just built gjdoc to build its documentation.
