Package: sun-java6-doc Version: 6-07-4 Severity: normal
[This bug applies equally to sun-java5-doc, though I'm filing only one bug report, to save administration time given that the two packages have the same maintainer.] sun-java6-doc v6-07-4 declares that it Enhances: sun-java6-jdk | java-compiler (and similarly sun-java5-doc v1.5.0-16-3 declares that it Enhances: sun-java5-jdk | java-compiler ); but vertical bar (‘|’) is not allowed in the Enhances field according to the first two paragraphs of §7.1 of debian-policy v3.8.0.1. If you want installation of sun-java6-doc to cause packaging frontends to suggest installing a java-compiler if one isn't already installed, then change Enhances to Suggests; if you want installation of any java-compiler to cause some packaging frontends [I haven't checked if any do use Enhances in this way] to suggest installing sun-java6-doc, then use `Enhances: java-compiler' (or a list of java6-like java-compiler packages); or if you think that it is meaningful/useful to use vertical bar in Enhances values, then please file a wishlist bug against debian-policy, with some suggested text as to how it should be interpreted or how packagers should decide when to use it. (There are a handful of other packages in Debian that use vertical bar in the Enhances field. I'll wait for your response to this bug report before filing bugs against those packages.)
