Erm, i think it is even worse, i think that the users would need to
install the j2sdk1.3 package or else it will be unusable. This also
means that your package will never enter testing, i think, or maybe
there is some kind of override for contrib/non-free packages. Also, the
j2sdk1.3 is available on other arches, ppc being one of thoses, so maybe
you or your sponsor could hand build them.
Mmm, another idea, java is supposed to be arch-independant bytecode, so
you should maybe build your package arch: all instead of arch: any.
