Hi,

Thanks for the bug report.  We get enough of these that it's probably
worth adding a lintian check to ensure that packages that declare a
dependency on a JRE also include an alternative on a virtual equivalent
(although this is really only feasible starting with java6).

I retitled the bug to use the desired virtual package name (see [1]).

Cheers,
tony
