This is actually a build issue in pdftk, see #624778 - so my idea was to
drop the calls to g{cj,++}-$VERSION completely.

Why not? What's the build dependency I'd use for "I want to build a
binary from sources written in C++ and Java"? default-jdk clearly
isn't - it pulls openjdk* in which is clearly not gcj.
IMHO a package built with /usr/bin/g++ and /usr/bin/gjc - whatever
version - should share the same ABI; that would mean for archs where
only g++-4.4 is available gcj should also point to gcj-4.4.
