Hi!

I'm upstream developer for zeroc-ice, in one of the packages build from
this source zeroc-icegridgui, a bug has been reported regarding missing JAR
dependencies (Bug#846498).

The package in question uses java:depends but that seems to not work here
or maybe is not being used correctly:

https://github.com/zeroc-ice/ice-debian-packaging/blob/3.6/debian/control#L290-L293

dpkg produces a warning dpkg-gencontrol: warning: Depends field of package
zeroc-icegridgui: unknown substitution variable ${java:Depends}

What is the correct way to declare the dependencies for JARs include in
separate packages?

Regards,
José
