Bug#537290: classpath-common, gcj-jdk: Conflicting file /usr/share/man/man1/gappletviewer.1.gz

Package: classpath-common, gcj-jdk
Severity: serious

classpath-common and gcj-jdk both have the file 
/usr/share/man/man1/gappletviewer.1.gz.  It seems gcj-jdk tried to "fix" the 
issue using a versioned conflict with classpath-common; however, that makes 
cacao's Build-Depends unsatisfiable as it Build-Depends on both classpath-
common and default-jdk-builddep (at least on !alpha).

Wouldn't it make sense to handle this as an alternative, since gcj uses 
classpath libraries anyway?
