OK, let me rephrase my intent again.
I think it’s fair to drop GCJ support. But please do not so for
as long as doing that breaks GCJ architectures. That means, for
all affected packages, do maintainer uploads or NMUs *first*
that:
- change the B-D to require default-jdk only on an architecture
whitelist (do not use a blacklist, that makes bootstrapping
new architectures impossible_)
- change d/rules, d/control to only build the *-java packages
on those architectures
- ensure these changes are in sid *first*
Thanks!
