At least that is what I suspect.

Perhaps, but nothing is preventing us from getting rid of old/crufty
stuff already now. At the moment we got 32 unfixed bugs and that
presumes a second rebuild will not find any new issues.

Basically I just had a chat with lucas asking him to rebuild all java
packages in sid with default-jdk from experimental. As I recall we had
to provide a list of packages (I think I used "dak rm -nR java-common"
or "dak rm -nR -b default-jdk" as basis for that [on ries.d.o]).
Last time we had some failures because the plugin was defaulting to
Java6 at the time and that tripped out B-D resolution for some reason
(don't remember why - but it caused false-positive build failures).
Perhaps we could move the icedtea-plugin package to java-common first
and then do the rebuild to avoid these. I believe doko was supporting
the move of that package so we only had one package for all "defaults".
