Bug#389034: libgnome-java: uninstallable and not bin-NMU safe

Package: libgnome-java
Version: 2.12.3-1
Severity: grave

libgnome-jni has been bin-only NMUed but libgnome-java (which is Arch:
all) has a strict dependency on the exact source version of
libgnome-jni.

libgnome-java |   2.12.3-1 |      unstable | source, all
libgnome-jni | 2.12.3-1+b1 |      unstable | alpha, amd64, i386, powerpc, s390, sparc

At the very least a sourceful upload is going to be needed to get us
out of the current mess, but it'd be nice if the libgnome-java package
could be bin-NMU safe so this doesn't happen again (by weakening the
overly strict dependency to the same upstream version, not the
specific debian source revision).
