on i386, sun's packages are much more popular than the blackdown builds,
and especially, the dependencies don't reflect that you require
blackdown, instead, you build-depend on the virtual j2sdk1.4 package.

If you require blackdown, please build-depend on blackdown-j2sdk1.4
then, to make it clear that's required. The 'j2sdk1.4' package provided
by blackdown itself is not maintained anymore, and while talking with
the blackdown people a preference became clear that Debian would provide
the packaging for blackdown, to make sure there's only one version of
blackdown packaging in order to avoid confusion etc. The java-package
generated blackdown packages are not yet available via blackdown mirrors
though, but it is planned for the future.
