biomaj unhappy with openjdk7 and forces openjdk6 installation

[Sasa Paporovic]

Iǘe installalled openjdk7 on my sytem.

The just started update run shows that biomaj is forcing openjdk6(with idedtea xomponents) to install.

Would be fine when the dependences of biomaj would also be satisfied with java 7.

Current dependency is: openjdk-6-jdk|default-jdk|sun-java6-jdk
so, if default-jdk points to version 7, this is fine.... but it doesn't.

Default dependency will be kept as default-jdk, which is still openjdk-6-jdk, even in Precise (http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/default-jdk).

I won't use in package the openjdk-7-jdk dependency before it goes to default or with a package release more stable.
This does not prevent the package from working with jdk 7 (though not tested).

I gonna check with Debian Java guys to see what is current policy regarding this.
