Package: ant Version: 1.7.0-6 Severity: normal ant-gcj is a Recommends of ant, so it is installed by default, when you install ant. The package descriptions of ant and ant-gcj are identical and I also couldn't find any explanation in a README.Debian or the changelog, why I should have ant-gcj installed (ant-gcj has quite a long dependency list).
So this bug report is twofold: - Please improve the description of ant-gcj, why I should install it and the relationship to ant - For the sake of a more sane dependency list, please demote ant-gcj to a Suggests, unless it is really important enough, to have ant-gcj installed.
