Bug#418958: kaffe-pthreads doesn't really "provide" kaffe

Package: kaffe-pthreads
Version: 2:1.1.7-4
Severity: important

A package that build depends on kaffe to call something from
/usr/lib/kaffe/bin/java* will fail to build when kaffe-pthreads is already
installed but kaffe is not, because /usr/lib/kaffe/bin will not exist
but the build dependencies will appear to be satisfied because kaffe-pthreads
"Provides" kaffe.

So either kaffe-pthreads is not telling the truth about what it provides,
or the kaffe package is useless as a build dependency.

This currently causes at least hsqldb and jline to fail to build in those
circumstances.
