And m68k, and a bunch of others.

No, as you can install several JDKs.

You could Build-Conflicts on gcj?
But it would be better to whitelist the OpenJDK architectures
in the Architecture field of your package. That way, the m68k
buildd admins aren’t angry at you for wasting hours of CPU time
to try to install build dependencies for something, only to
abort the build due to Build-Conflicts later.
