Title:
  ant shouldn't recommend ant-gcj

Status in ant package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ant

  ant-gcj doesn't rise to the high level of a recommends, which
  basically states that if package 'A' recommends 'B', every conceivable
  'normal' setup of 'A' will require 'B'.  there are many java runtimes
  to choose from, most more 'normal' than gcj.  since recommends are now
  treated as dependencies, this forces people to install a slew of
  packages most people don't need or want.  frankly, this package
  doesn't even rise to the level of a suggests, since ant already
  depends on java-runtime.
