package freeguide severity 456447 normal tag 456447 confirmed thanks Freeguide does not yet work with the GNU Java interpreter. I suspect the bugs you plan on filing will simply boil down to "does not work with GNU Java interpreter". In which case, I'd suggest you simply file one bug.
Freeguide itself does not depend on libgcj7-awt, however the GNU Java interpreter does if you want to use the Swing GUI library. Since Freeguide can be used with any compatible Java interpreter, your problem is not specific to Freeguide. For what it's worth, the package libgcj7-1 does recommend the package libgcj7-awt. The problem you've recognized is real, but the solution isn't straight forward. Perhaps there's a need for a virtual java-swing package that is provided by libgcj7-awt and any other Java VM package that provides Swing. I've cc'ed this email to the Debian Java team for their input.
