Sorry about that. It's entirely my fault. Classpathx-jaf has been merged into 
gcj long long time ago. It is now obsoleted by java-1.5.0-gcj but not provided 
in order to not having do this for every JVM out there. You don't need to BR 
java >=1:1.6.0 but just >= 1:1.5.0 . 
Every occurance of jaf should be simply removed as we no longer ship pre 1.5 
JVMs. 

P.S. I'm the one that added the obsolete and asked devrim to deprecate it.
