Bug Description

On installation, the java-gcj-compat package registers an alternative for rmic and rmic.1.gz. They both point into the /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj directory, either under bin, or man/man1.

However, neither files are provided by the package at all.

steven@broken:~% dpkg -L java-gcj-compat | grep rmic
zsh: done dpkg -L java-gcj-compat |
zsh: exit 1 grep rmic

This causes error reports from man-db. I didn't even know I had java-gcj-compat installed.
