If you have a look at the JFTP rules file, it has this line: JAVA_HOME := /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun Now, instead of this, you should try to use /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj and Build-Depend on java-gcj-compat-dev. If this helps build your package and runs it, yacas can stay in main. However, if you just can't build it using GCJ, then you may try kaffe or jikes, but I don't know too much about them. See any of the packages maintained by pkg-java-maintainers. For example, commons-io is a simple one. They all use cdbs for building, and it should be quite simple to adapt the ant based build to yacas. All the best!
