You should Build-Depend on a specific compiler. Using alternates only gives troubles later as your build problems are not 100% reproducable. When you wanna use kaffe just Build-Depend on kaffe. If your package uses ant then it will find the right compiler for you automatically. Same when you use java-gcj-compat-dev or free-java-sdk. If your software dont uses ant or maven you can directly use the compiler privided by your runtime. E.g. with kaffe just use /usr/lib/kaffe/bin/javac.
