It was my understanding from the Debian Java policy (http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/java-policy/x73.html) that by depending upon the java2-runtime (which is *not* supplied by gcj 3.3), the filler package is correctly identifying a dependency that wasn't satisfied on the system of the user in bug 255831. The fact that there is *NO* package in Debian (main or contrib) that satisfies the dependency is what causes the FTBFS bug. On the other hand, once the Free Java hackers catch up, filler should run without modification. > > > another.
