Bastian, did you receive the email I sent this morning? Included again here:

Bug #336405 is blocked by bug #340998, `libswt3.2-gtk-java: Should not
conflict with libswt-gtk-3.2-java'. Bug #340998 has a one-line patch
filed against it which would resolve this conflict. Please contact the
maintainer of Eclipse and the Debian release team to encourage pushing
this patch into Etch.

Cheers,
Shaun
