The "normal" environment.

At this time, being this late into the release cycle, I would like to
support only the default-jdk. I am building with sbuild using a chroot
created by sbuild-createchroot as I believe this closely matches what
the buildd machines are running. The bsaf package builds and passes
the test suite for me fine on my machine running Debian wheezy, inside
a wheezy chroot using sbuild, and inside a sid chroot using sbuild. My
machine has a display, the chroot environments do not have a display.

I will be downgrading this bug to important as I don't believe
supporting cowbuilder, xvfb, or openjdk-7-jdk to be release critical.
If someone else can reproduce the test case failure with the version
of bsaf in the archives as is, then feel free to raise it back,
otherwise fixing these other issues of supporting cowbuilder, xvfb,
and openjdk-7-jdk can wait.
