Another package which needs to be sorted out is the support for
Java. wheezy has both openjdk-6 and openjdk-7 (jessie has only
-7 and stretch will also only have one version).
Currently the maintenance heavily relies on the gruntwork done
by Matthias Klose (and recently indirectly Tiago St�rmer Daitx):
The unstable releases are backported.
It needs to be sorted with them out how long these openjdk-6
uploads will be available in experimental (and how long upstream
support in icedtea will happen). Otherwise it might make more
sense to only support openjdk-7 in Debian LTS. Some rdeps in
wheezy will not allow that, but I think most people use openjdk
to run external java apps and not the Java apps packaged in
Debian (with maybe Tomcat as the exception).
Cheers,
Moritz
