Since those packages are libraries they should not depend on a JRE anyway. Maybe in the meantime you can workaround this issue with equivs. Regarding libbatik-java, since the issue is with the Recommends on openjdk-6-jre, I'm not sure that would be a bug. You can file a bug or try to contact the maintainers and convince them about that Recommends, maybe they have reasons, I don't know. Regarding the others packages, I'll fix them soon. -- Miguel Landaeta, miguel at miguel.cc secure email with PGP 0x7D8967E9 available at http://keyserver.pgp.com/ "Faith means not wanting to know what is true." -- Nietzsche __ This is the maintainer address of Debian's Java team <http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-java-maintainers>.
