Hello.

If it is not a bug let it be a wish.

Most of java dependent packages have such dependency as java6-runtime.
The virtual pakage can be provided by both java6 or java7.

I believe a user should have a choice. According to bug #672618 scilab
5.3.3-10 can work with java7.

Maybe it is too dangerous to change something in stable, but the
alternative can be added to testing.

Best Regards,
Aleksandr.
