Yes, although if you are trying to build a -gcj package on an architecture
which does not have gcj, possibly failing the dependency is actually correct....
No, it's not. All the current packages build on all archs, wether gcj is
available or not, but are empty packages on the archs without gcj (well,
just having the symlinks/copyright files in /usr/share/doc).
Retaining that behaviour is certainly possible, but surely it's better to only
build the packages on certain arches? If that's hard to do someone probably
needs to write a tool...
