Actually I was thinking about the JRE packages generated by java-package. Currently these packages provide only java-runtime and java2-runtime (plus the headless variations). I pushed a change to provide also java<n>-runtime depending on the version packaged. But that will not work with tomcat7, because the package doesn't provide java6-runtime expected by tomcat7. I'm not sure about the right solution. Either: 1. java-package generates JRE packages providing default-jre and default-jre-headless (I'm not sure why it doesn't already) 2. java-package generates JRE packages providing java<n>-runtime for every n between 2 and the version packaged. 3. Get the packages like tomcat7 to accept java7-runtime Emmanuel Bourg
