[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#784057: fastqc: Package doesn't list java as a dependency

[Hans Joachim Desserud]

Package: fastqc
Version: 0.11.2+dfsg-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

If I install fasqc on a system without an JRE, I get the following 
error:
$ fastqc
Can't exec "java": No such file or directory at /usr/bin/fastqc line 
256.

After installing `default-jre` it works as expected. Please add a
dependency on Java for this package.
