Bug Description

libswt3.1-gtk-java depends on mozilla-browser. This makes removing mozilla-browser and also upgrading firefox in dapper impossible without removing libswt3.1-gtk-java and also eclipse.

The same bug in Debian package has been fixed in new 3.1.1-7 (Debian unstable). Any change to get the fix in Dapper too?

It has been fixed in Debian. Unfortunately, that fix doesn't apply for Ubuntu:

eclipse (3.1.1-8ubuntu1) dapper; urgency=low
[...]
   * eclipse doesn't run with firefox (>= 1.4.99), let libswt3.1-gtk-java
     unconditionally depend on mozilla-browser.
