LOL! This isn't the answer I was looking for <wink>.

I think I should suggest to the developers that the pages on
packages.debian.org should all have a link to the upstream web site
and display a list of all the files that are in the package. I would
like to see, before I spend hours downloading the package, what
executables it will create so I can look for any conflicts I may see.
For example, I want to have kaffe, gcj, jdk1.1.8 and jdk1.2.2 on my
system so I want to be sure there aren't any conflicts with more than
one of them providing, for example, /usr/bin/java. It's probably best
to use a different root for each package, and check this sort of stuff
first.

Yep. I read through the discussion on the -dev archives. No
resolution yet.
