I think Debian has no time to wait for 1.3, which was planned to go 
alpha 11 months ago. Maybe we can take the lead to remove the 
"bloatware" part from the1.2.8 package first. No matter there is 
java.util.logging or not, packages still tend to use commons-logging, 
and log4j is the de facto choice of backend. This is the significance of 
making sure log4j will be in sarge.

In the mean time, classpath (or kaffe, sablevm, ...) can go ahead to 
implement the missing Swing features, at least stub them so that we can 
compile.
