Hi Max,

Thanks for your bug report.

I've seen your mail [1] on debian-java regarding choice between default-jdk-
builddep and default-jdk. To my knownledge, your position haven't reached
consensus and is not reflected in Debian Java Policy.

In Debian, default-jdk-builddep package [2] as exactly the same dependency 
chain as default-jdk [3] : (gcj-jdk).
On Ubuntu, default-jdk is openjdk-6-jdk and default-jdk-builddep is default-
jdk + gcj-jdk

At the moment, your issue is more a disagrement on Java Policy between Debian  
and Ubuntu.

I would prefer to :
- wait for a new Debian Java Policy (after Debconf9 ?)
- resync Debian and Ubuntu Java Policy about default-* packages
- fix Build-Depends on all packages [4]

[1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-java/2009/07/msg00013.html
[2] http://packages.debian.org/sid/default-jdk-builddep
[3] http://packages.debian.org/sid/default-jdk
[4] 31 packages use default-jdk-builddep in unstable

Cheers,
