This dependency is correct.

And that this isn't working is also correct according to 1.8.1.x' "dependencies". Simply
because of this:
$ apt-cache show libhsqldb-java
Package: libhsqldb-java
Priority: optional
Section: java
Installed-Size: 1016
Maintainer: Rene Engelhard <rene@debian.org>
Architecture: all
Source: hsqldb
Version: 1.8.1.2-1
Depends: gij | java-gcj-compat | java2-runtime, libservlet2.4-java
Suggests: java-virtual-machine, libhsqldb-java-doc, libhsqldb-java-gcj
Conflicts: openoffice.org-base (<< 1:2.3.1~m8)
Breaks: openoffice.org-base
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[...]
And this is because Base doesn't work with 1.8.1.x and that's why 1.8.1.x is
not in unstable (then it would be a serious bug and Base indeed uninstallable)
but only in experimental and unstable has a 1.8.0.10 still.
Now you could argue that this is a bug in sids OOo, I don't think so, as the package
making it uninstallable is in experimental, and experimental is called experimental
for a reason. I close this "bug".
(And last I talked with the hsqldb people iirc it came up that this was hsqldbs fault
to break after all, so it it gets unbroken we can remove the Breaks: *there*)

René
