You may close any FTBFS bugs on filler caused by missing java2 packages in Debian referring to the debian policy, it is acceptable for contrib to FTBFS due to missing dependencies. Your package doesn't propagate to testing at the moment due to missing depends, but this issue is currently being worked on by Andreas Barth. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar Jeroen@wolffelaar.nl (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl
