+    gcj's output varies, cause unknown. gcj is deprecated, and has been removed from
+    gcc-7. Neither upstream or (I believe) the Debian packaging team have any interest
+    in maintaining it; hopefully it will be removed and all of these packages will move
+    to a normal Java implementation, or be removed too.
