the change to set the javac target to 1.7. Is it necessary?
yes, the package won't build without that.
Since, eclipse-cdt is Arch: all, the package may fail on any
architectures that pull in a default-jdk that isn't openjdk-7 (see [1]).
eclipse-cdt disables building on the architectures that have only gcj by
declaring Build-Depends on default-jdk (>= 2:1.6), which is only satisfied
where openjdk-6 or higher is the default (this was suggested in #743234 [1]).
In sid, there's only default-jdk 2:1.7 and it installs openjdk-7, so there
shouldn't be a need to bump up the version in d/control.
As an alternative, I could list only the supported architectures in d/control,
but that would have to be updated when openjdk-7 becomes available say on kfreebsd.

Jakub
