This is deliberate change in -8.

And java-gcj-compat (and therefore gij) is the default runtime on sid.
The rest (sun?) is not even in Debian.

Sun JDK is not in main, so no option for this. I'll add icedtea/openjdk
support when it's there, though.

Yes, I do, too, but recent discussions showed that it's a problem if
openoffice.org is not depending on it.

CC'ing jsc. jsc, please keep Michael and 439287@bugs.debian.org in Cc.

I finally thought about it and came with the compromise that I'll let
the metapackage depend on openoffice.org-officebean so it gets installed
when someone installs the metapackage (but not put it into -core
or make -core depend on it so people who don't it don't *need to* install
it)

"openoffice.org" ist just a metapackage fwiw, so if you don't want
officebean you just can install all the modules without -officebean.

Gr??e/Regards,
