You forgot to do 'apt-cache policy j2sdk1.4', which shows that this package
didn't come from sid.  There are now j2sdk1.4 binary packages distributed by
Debian, for license reasons; while grabbing the blackdown packages of this
name is one option, java-package offers another, very real option, and
should perhaps take precedence (or at least be acknowledged) in buildds
given that it's the option for which the *packaging* is made available by
Debian.

OTOH, I'm not sure how strict we really want to try to be for
build-dependencies of contrib packages.
