openjdk-6-jdk 6b11-2ubuntu2

I'm working on Hardy.

I want to create a patch to fix bug #199732 in the openjdk package.
Until I can get it pushed upstream I'd like to create a debian patch,
but I can't figure out how to apply the existing upstream and debian
patches, prior to creating the diff.

Using the obvious method causes an error:

$ fakeroot debian/rules patch

...
checking for xalan2 jar... no
configure: error: "A xalan2 jar was not found."
make: *** [stamps/icedtea-configure] Error 1

$ sudo apt-get build-dep openjdk-6

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Build-Depends dependency for openjdk-6 cannot be satisfied because
the package g++-4.3 cannot be found

openjdk-6-jdk 6b11-2ubuntu2 is from hardy-updates but g++ 4.3.x is only
available in Intrepid.

Is g++ 4.3 strictly necessary for openjdk or is it just specified to
match Intrepid's default version? Is this a packaging error in Hardy
that has accidentally inherited Intrepid's build-depends version?

Thanks.

TJ.
