IIRC, I had a discussion about same topic with doko sometime back.
doko had mentioned that -gcj packages offer performance improvements
on architectures where JIT compiler is not present in JRE.
Considering that OpenJDK (which has JIT) is available on most
architecture these days I also support moving -gcj packages to
'Suggests'.
