Bug#300817: java-package: Java applets don't work if package "netbase" is not installed

Package: java-package
Version: 0.20

Description: Java applets don't work if package "netbase" is not installed. In this case, any java
applet will show up as a blank box with an red "X" on top left corner.

How to reproduce:
- Create a package with java-package.
- Install the created package.
- Remove package "netbase".
- Using a java enabled web-browser, go to http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml
  - Will get "Loading Java Applet Failed..." on status bar.

Proposed fix:
Packages created with java-package should recommend or suggest package "netbase".

I'm using:
- Kernel 2 2.6.8-2-k7
- libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20
- java-package 0.20
- Sun JRE: jre-1_5_0_02-linux-i586.bin (create sun-j2re1.5_1.5.0+update02_i386.deb)
- mozilla-firefox 1.0.1-2
- netbase 4.20
