Hi,

The package openjdk-6 is still using dh_desktop according to lintian.
This command was obsoleted in 2009 and has since then done nothing but
print a warning.

 * Please remove all remaining calls to dh_desktop at your
   earliest convenience.

 * I will remove dh_undocumented from debhelper in the first upload
   after 1st of April.


If your package is *also* affected by any of the following debhelper
related deprecations, please consider fixing them at the same time:

 * debhelper compat 4 is deprecated and is expected to be removed
   on the 15th of June.
   - Compat 9 is recommended
   - Compat 5 is the bare minimum
   - If the package has been relying on dh_install being lenient about
     missing files, please see "MIGRATING TO COMPAT 5 OR LATER" in [1].

 * If your package does *not* have a debian/compat, please add one with
   the correct compat level.
   - The compat file will be required by 15th of April.

Thanks,
~Niels
