Be glad that Branden Robinson isn't around to yell your name in
all caps for a half-month thread. But, in all seriousness, since
java-virtual-machine is a pure-virtual package, you *really* should have
the non-virtual package listed ahead of it. 'kaffe | java-virtual-machine'
is the correct way.

It has to do with the autobuilder design (which some consider to be 'broken
by design', but whether or not you like it, that's How It Is).
