This is great news.  One of the reasons the Debian packages
have stalled is that the only packaged version of GCJ that
would run PyLucene was the version of GCJ in Debian Stable,
which is way older than the GCJ available in any of the
other Debian distributions.

As the newer, working, versions of GCJ snake their way into
Debian it will become easier to support PyLucene packages.
