Bug#439287: Dependency on openoffice.org-officebean

OOo doesn't support sablevm or kaffe. I know that sun-java* is in
non-free, but that doesn't make non-free to a part of Debian (which is
per definiton the "main" section).

The problem is that officebean.so links against libjawt. In gcjs case,
that's libgcjawt.

If it was only the jar, you'd be completely right, but there's also a .so.
If it was a jar the reason for splitting it out would be a non-reason
anyway and officebean.jar could be in -java-common.

Good point. But then again, who knows what other stuff will expect it to
be there, it it is a part of a "standard office installation?
