Hi,

The /usr/share/doc/openjdk-6-jre-lib directory is a symbolic link
to /usr/share/doc/openjdk-6-jre-headless even though the dependency
allows for the two packages to have different versions. This is not
merely theoretical or of minor importance.

Due to the unsatisfiable version conflict mentioned in #640736 and
#641075, aptitude on my system has not yet upgraded
openjdk-6-jre-headless to 6b23~pre9-1, even though it has upgraded
openjdk-6-jre-lib to 6b23~pre9-1.  I do make use of icedtea-netx, so I
have not simply uninstalled it to complete the upgrade, and I am
hesitant to do so.

This became an issue when I was trying to prepare the Eclipse 3.7
packaging for entry into sid, which I am currently working on in
collaboration with Niels Thykier. An error arose which I suspect is
related in some way to my recent partial OpenJDK upgrade, but I do not
have the ~pre9-1 changelog anywhere on my system due to the use of the
symlink shortcut, so this has been difficult to debug.

Although I found the changelog online, I do not only work on Debian
when I have Internet access, and the DFSG-freeness part of the wheezy RC
policy rightly insists on the inclusion of the package changelog. The
version included in the current OpenJDK packaging does not always
correspond to what is installed, which is the reason I have used an RC
severity.

Thanks in advance,
