Package: kaffe-pthreads
Version: 1.1.6.91-2
Severity: wishlist


Refering to #328648 I would like to ask whether using gjdoc in the
Depends is *really* necessary.

Quoting #328648:

| So, while it is technically possible to loosen the dependency on
| gjdoc, it is neither feasible nor advisable.  The number of
| important and grave bugs the kaffe package would recieve would be
| significant, since users expect javadoc and the other standard
| Java(TM) command facilities to work as expected.

Why not add gjdoc to Recommends (which is handled nearly as depends
by some frontends) and use a solution like perldoc does:

#!/bin/sh
# place-holder, diverted by perl-doc
echo You need to install the perl-doc package to use this program.
exit 1

I would really appreciate if I don't have to install gjdoc if I only
want to use kaffe[-pthreads] itself.

regards,
-mika-
