Hi all,

I just got a bug report (#299551) against the new libbsf-java package
about wrong runtime dependencies.

Bevor I prepare a new version I would like to discuss this as I see
most packages have rather different view on the runtime dependenies.

Some have only java-runtime, some only java-common ....

The libbsf-java depends is kaffe | java1-runtime. I thought the
java-package generated SUN/BD 1.4/1.5 packages provide all virtual
packages (java-runtime, java1-runtime, java2-runtime). But was wrong.

Is it concens that only gnu derived runtimes provide java1-runtime and
therefore I should depend on java1-runtime | java2-runtime or should
maybe java-package generated runtimes also provide java1-runtime ?

Regards,

Wolfgang
