Package: sablevm
Version: 1.1.0-5
Severity: normal
If you use dselect to install "ant", dselect will try to install
another JVM than sablevm (such as Sun's non-free JDK) to run it,
because sablevm does not "provide" java2-runtime.
Yet, sablevm should be sufficient to run ant and many other Java
applications. SableVM does implement the "Java 2" specification, and
thus should provide java2-runtime, even though it is incomplete;
incompleteness is simply an incentive to contribute more to this Free
project. Not "providing java2-runtime" excludes sablevm as a runtime
system for software such ant, which goes against Debian's objective to
promote Free software (such as SableVM) over non-free software (such
as Sun's JDK).

The sablevm package has been removed from Debian testing, unstable and
experimental, so I am now closing the bugs that were still opened
against it.
For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/508369 . That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed, and suggestions of possible replacements.
Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.
Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
