to avoid any misunderstandings: we want OpenJDK 6b18-1.8.1-1 in
Squeeze (currently in unstable and unblocked). The steps that needs to
be done:

1. File a partial removal request for mips. I'll do it.
2. Change default-jdk to point to gcj on mips. I can do that.
3. File an unblock request for java-common. (for me, too)

Is the release team okay with that?

Cheers,
Torsten
