God damnit. This bug already was reported *3* times before you
filed it.
(#356984, #357024, #357067).
You don't need to file it again. Please check whether a bug is reported
already before filing it. Thanks.

None did. java-gcj-compat-dev contains it.

2.0.2-2 will use the gij symlink, which *is* i java.gcj-compat-dev.
And iff you would actually have read the bug reports already filed you
would have found that out because I exactly wrote that
(java-gcj-compat-dev / gij) in #356984...
