Bug#683450: freecol: Please (Build-)Depend on default-jdk/-jre

[Michael Terry]

Package: freecol
Version: 0.10.5+dfsg-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

In Ubuntu, we've switched default-jdk/-jre to openjdk-7.  This has
revealed some bugs in packages with mismatched build dependencies.  For
example, freecol build-depends on ant and openjdk-6-jdk.  ant in turn
Depends on default-jre-headless, which on Ubuntu points the default java
at openjdk.  So it doesn't find openjdk-6-jdk's javac.

I believe it's recommended to use default-jdk/default-jre in general to
avoid hard coding which jdk is being used.

Thanks for considering the patch.
