Thanks for explaining.

The subversion packaging takes advantage of that iiuc, so I don't
think it's important.

As Michael mentioned, the default jdk in Debian on most arches is
openjdk now.  Looking over the java policy in
/usr/share/doc/java-common/ and http://bugs.debian.org/548755 I am
still left with some questions about how to use it (e.g., where the
"5" comes from in the dependency on java5-runtime-headless and whether
it is is right).  So the following it just a sketch.

Next step will be to read over the test and make sure openjdk's answer is
really the right one.

Thanks for keeping subversion in good shape all these years. :)
