Bug#551450: java-gcj-compat-dev: Java compiler pulls in too many dependencies

[Adam Spragg]

Package: java-gcj-compat-dev
Version: 1.0.80-5.1
Severity: wishlist

I want to install on my system a gcj-based java compiler/basic
development environment which is not tied to a specific gcj version.
(i.e. I want something that will track the latest gcj, so when that
moves to 4.4 I'll get that automatically). The package for that used to
be the plain "gcj" (which is now a transitional package) but now appears
to be "gcj-jdk". This in turn depends on "java-gcj-compat-dev" which
then pulls in "gjdoc". From there the dependencies include "antlr",
"debhelper", "dpkg-dev", "html2text", "po-debconf" and "intltool-debian".

I only wanted a gcj-based java compiler!

Would it be possible to for "java-gcj-compat-dev" to only recommend
"gjdoc", to reduce this dependency-explosion?

Bug#756120: gcc-defaults: Please provide libstdc++-doc metapackage

[Adam Spragg]

Package: gcc-defaults
Version: 1.130
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

It would be nice if there were a libstdc++-doc metapackage to automatically
pull in the latest libstdc++-X.Y-doc, so I don't have to keep remembering to
manually remove the old and install the new documentation with each compiler
update.
