Package: python-jpype
Version: 0.5.4.1-2+b1
Severity: minor
*** Please type your report below this line ***
python-jpype Depends: on default-jre, which, as of squeeze, requires
openjdk-6-jre. That's a very heavy dependency, considering that
python-jpype works perfectly well with the libjvm.so from sun-java6-jre
(if the path is properly passed to jpype.startJVM()).
What's worse, some of my users claim that the mere presence of
openjdk-6-jre causes some problems with their java builds, even though
they're using Sun Java.
Please add an alternative to the default-jre dependency, such as
java6-runtime-headless, to avoid unnecessarily forcing the user to
install OpenJDK.
