My understanding is that this is not allowed by policy 2.2.1 | In addition, the packages in main must not require a package outside of main | for compilation or execution (thus, the package must not declare | a "Depends", "Recommends", or "Build-Depends" relationship on a non-main package) This is a bit vague though since a dependency on openjdk-6-jre | sun-java6-jre does not *require* a package outside of main to run josm. But there are already some packages in the archive that do exactly that. I will ask for clarificaton/some more opinions and presumably adjust the dependencies.
