Package: freemind
Severity: important

freemind declares a dependency on "j2re1.4 | java2-runtime". Is this really
necessary? No such package exists, apart from the Blackdown kit (which is
way too far out of date).  Could "java2-runtime" be better replaced by some
other dependency that is in the archive, or could freemind just be left with 
java-virtual-machine (which you do have) ?  

To be more specific, I can grab the jre rpms from sun.com and convert them
to debs using alien.  But those Sun deb packages have the name "jre", not
j2re1.4.  Since freemind is in contrib and expects Sun's java packages to be
installed anyway, then it should be free to use the ones that Sun actually
provides.

A dependency of "j2re1.4 | jre | java2-runtime" would cover it, I think.

I'm marking this bug as important, since at the moment freemind will not
install (without the Blackdown debs), even when Sun debs (converted rpms) are
installed.

p.s. how does gcj or the other free java implementations currently manage
with freemind?
