Hi

Thanks for the patch and the heads up, unfortunately we cannot use this
patch. In April we ratified a new version of the Java Policy that states
that Java Libraries does not need a dependency on JREs. See [1] for more
information.

The Java Policy is available in the java-common package and the
particular change should have propagated to at least Ubuntu Maverick by now.
