I second that. The gcj-jdk dependency also breaks cross compilation and
moving it to Build-Depends-Indep significantly simplifies debian/rules
as the attached patch demonstrates. In particular, it removes all those
different(!) architecture lists.

Though I'd much rather see libidn go. Most rdeps but hesiod have moved
on to libidn2-0.
