Hi, I did a little digging. Package gcj-3.4 was removed
from Debian Unstable on Aug 14, 2005 because it was
Not Built by Source
I also did some digging. I found the same removal message
and then tracked down a gcj maintainer IRC. He simply said:

However, it is technically possible to compile on Debian
stable then upload the binary package to unstable (a.k.a.
sid). This can - somewhat - bypass the swig issue and get
a working PyLucene package in Debian for one architecture,
presumably i386.

Matthew, I just built your package on sarge, it went fine.
Good job.

I noticed you chose not to have a README.Debian file. That's probably
ok, since most of the weirdness affects package maintainers and not
Andy,
I compiled PyLucene 1.9rc1-7 for the i386, amd64, and
powerpc Debian architectures. I created an APT repository
because I figured it would be easier to manage. So if you
add the follow instructions to your website they should make
sense to any Debian user:
There are binary PyLucene
Jeff Breidenbach [EMAIL PROTECTED] said:
Andi, Debian's infrastructure is designed such that a source package is not
allowed to be a build dependency. Matthew, please file a wishlist bug against
swig, requesting a version update.
I think I confused the issue. Unstable has SWIG 1.3.27.
Jeff Breidenbach [EMAIL PROTECTED] said:
Given Andi's comments, one possibility is to put the PyLucene package
into Debian, but under the contrib section and marking it with appropriate
bug entries. The hope would be people could improve the build situation
over time.
Personally, I'm fine

Andi is correct, Java Lucene 1.4.3 compiles ok with a Free Software
toolchain. Specifically we use kaffe. Getting this to work took a lot
of time and effort. It is unknown at this time whether the release
candidate for Java Lucene 1.9 can be built
Jeff,
In October of 2004 you offered to look over and sponsor a
PyLucene Debian package for Jeff Bowden. In case you don't
recall here is the last email from the WNPP bug:

I was hoping you'd give me the same advice and
Thanks Jeff! I have no time line in mind. The sooner the
better I suppose since this is the head space I am in right
now. Using the following checklist as a guide:

I'd have to assume the next step, for me, is to try and get
