I think,the discussion went in the wrong direction. The problem is NOT, 
that sun-jdk depends upon some lib!

It is swt, that depends upon one lib of sun-jdk. As steated in my first 
post, I get this message from revdep-rebuild:

broken /usr/lib/libswt-awt-gtk-3232.so (requires  libjawt.so)

And then it wants to rebuild swt. Of course, I do not know, if swt is 
binary or source?

But if it is a source package, rebuilding should solve any dependency on 
binary libs, shouldn't it? An if it should, why does it not work on my 
system?

On the other hand, if it is a binary package, than I will post a bug 
report, like Neil suggested.

Or am I completly wrong and missed the point of Alan's explanation?
