With a slightly modified version of the Debian patch and the substitution of libgcj7-1-awt for libgcj7-awt as run-time dependancy, the ftbfs is (apparently) solved.
The program exit with an exception if attempted to run in GUI mode (no problem in text mode):

cesare@desktop:~$ turkey
Exception during event dispatch:
java.lang.NullPointerException

This info has been added to the Debian bug and upstream informed.

The above patch solves the ftbfs and installation problems. Note that to be able to run the program succesfully in GUI mode the Sun JVM is mandatory (a Dependancy has been added).
I also took the occasion to make a general clean-up.

NOTE FOR THE ARCHIVE ADMINS:

Since the package depends on sun-java6-bin it needs to be moved from the universe to the multiverse archive.

Thanks.

PS. I will investigate the possibility of issuing an ITA in Debian for this.
