Hm, indeed, that's a problem. It should build-depend on j2sdk1.{3,4} or
whatever instead...
Lintian should also have given you:
W: filler source: virtual-package-depends-without-real-package-depends
build-depends-indep: java-compiler
You should build=depend: <concrete package> | <virtual package class> to
give builders a hint which package you want installed. Plus indeed that
java-compiler isn't a restrictive enough virtual package. On my system,
java-compiler is provided by:
* j2sdk1.4 1.4.1.01-0.1
* jdk1.1 1.1.8v3-1
* j2sdk1.3 1.3.1.02b-2
* kaffe-pthreads-profile 2:1.1.4.PRE1.1.5-11
* kaffe-pthreads 2:1.1.4.PRE1.1.5-11
* kaffe-jthreads 2:1.1.4.PRE1.1.5-11
* jikes-sablevm 1.1.6-2
* jikes-kaffe 2:1.1.4.PRE1.1.5-11
* jikes-gij 1:1.21-2
* jikes-classpath 2:0.09-2
* gcj-3.3 1:3.3.4-3
* gcj 4:3.3.4-2
So, your package should be buildable by _any_ of these. I didn't test
that though.
If filler isn't buildable by some of these, that is indeed a RC bug. As
Thomas said, build-depends need to be specified correctly. Depending on
java2-compiler might be it.
