Bug Description

Binary package hint: gcj-4.2

Build-depends of gcj contains empty bracket: "[]".

As Debian policy stands, in 7.1, architecture-specific dependencies could be either all negated architectures (e.g. 'foo [!m68k !arm]') or all non-negated architectures (e.g. 'foo [m68k arm]').
So, it's impossible to tell whether an empty list is inclusive or exclusive, and as such it would be impossible to tell whether that dependency has to be considered or not.

This could lead to build problem, as the implementation of build machines could be different.

This debdiff should fix the problem.
( note: I didn't rebuild the control file, so perhaps it should be done before uploading in official archives)

Sorry, the debdiff must have also changes to control file, even if autogenerated. :)
Here's the right one.
