Hi David, Vuze is the dummy package, and azureus is the substantial package. Vuze depends on azureus and additional packages required to run the novel Vuze GUI. Those dependencies are not necessary when using the classical GUI of Azureus. Azureus suggests vuze. Perhaps this should be Recommends. Otherwise, before Lenny is released, I don't see making any major changes. If the user wishes to run the Vuze GUI, the user may install the package vuze, which includes all the necessary dependencies. if the user wishes to run the Azureus GUI and minimize dependencies, the user may install the package azureus.
The primary issue is that if the user wishes to run the Vuze GUI but installs the azureus package, the user will see library exceptions rather than a useful error message. If anything, I think these bugs simply require better documentation describing the difference between the azureus and vuze packages.
