FWIW, I'd forgotten that java-gcj-compat-dev even existed until your
mailout to d-d-announce last month ("GCJ 4.1 transition"). In this
mailout you ask maintainers of JNI packages to use
-I/usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/include, which relies on symlinks provided
by java-gcj-compat and java-gcj-compat-dev.
Having said that, I don't particularly care if those packages stay or
go. However, if they go then I'd love another mailout explaining the
new preferred long-term way of building against jni.h (or, if we are
meant to switch to relying on default include paths, some indication
that you plan to keep the gcc/gcj versions in sync).
Thanks - b.
