This package contains information about how to make your java environment work. The package contains the Proposed Debian Java Policy and the Debian Java FAQ. It should probably be enough to get things going. They can be found at /usr/share/doc/java-common/debian-java-faq/index.html and /usr/share/doc/java-common/debian-java-policy/index.html Previously it existed a bunch of *-dummy packages. They have now been removed from the archive. If you need to fulfill the dependencies you have to make your own dummy package. The equivs package might help you with this. Ola Lundqvist
