Package: sablevm
Version: 1.1.0-5
Severity: normal
If you use dselect to install "ant", dselect will try to install
another JVM than sablevm (such as Sun's non-free JDK) to run it,
because sablevm does not "provide" java2-runtime.
Yet, sablevm should be sufficient to run ant and many other Java
applications. SableVM does implement the "Java 2" specification, and
thus should provide java2-runtime, even though it is incomplete;
incompleteness is simply an incentive to contribute more to this Free
project. Not "providing java2-runtime" excludes sablevm as a runtime
system for software such ant, which goes against Debian's objective to
promote Free software (such as SableVM) over non-free software (such
as Sun's JDK).
