Actually, I was refering to the fun involved in trying to build
Classpath without using anything from the JDK. (Everything in Debian's
main has to be able to be built with what is in main.) jikes is in
main, while the JDK isn't.
I think something I heard at the local LUG about Debian's stance on
licenses is approriate: "anal". But, that's one of the things I like
about it.
