Virtual packages are not allowed as the first alternative in a dependency by the Debian Policy. Last time I looked, JabRef only worked with OpenJDK and Sun Java but not with other alternatives; if you know other working implementations I'm happy to add them. BTW: Ubuntu/raring and Debian/experimental have 2.9~beta2+ds-1 or newer with: "openjdk-7-jre | java6-runtime" (with java6-runtime being provided by default-jre, openjdk-6-jre, openjdk-7-jre, sun-java6-jre in Debian.) Does this already address your concern? Cf. also http://bugs.debian.org/689253 Cheers, gregor -- .''`.
