Well, I do not know why libisnativec-java would need libisfreetype-5.2-java,
but generally in similar case, libisnativec-java is be split in two packages,
one low-level needed by libisfreetype-5.2-java and one high-level that use
libisfreetype-5.2-java. We would have:

libisnativec-java-highlvl Depends: libisfreetype-5.2-java, libisnativec-java-lowlvl
libisfreetype-5.2-java    Depends: libisnativec-java-lowlvl

By the way, the description says

 This package always installs the latest version of the isCWT library.
 It only offers a symbolic link to the respective jar file.

But I have no idea what isCWT is, and what that actually means.
