Actually that is wrong, the binary rpm that passed the TCK was
java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel-1.6.0.0-0.15.b09.fc9.x86_64 (and the x86
variant). So "b09" without the actual icedtea revision number doesn't
tell the whole story unfortunately. We should probably try to make the
distributions include the icedtea patch level since we do include lots
of bug fixes and extra compatibility fixes on top of the bare openjdk
bxx drops.
