Thanks -- wasn't aware of that.  Found the explanation:

If you look at the original submission:

   ...
   ii  ca-certificates                                  20120212
   ii  default-jre-headless [java6-runtime-headless]    1:1.6-47
   ii  libnss3-1d                                       3.13.3-1
   ii  openjdk-6-jre-headless [java6-runtime-headless]  6b24-1.11.1-3

   ^^ looks like openjdk-6-jre-headless is installed.
   Also, default-jre-headless depends specifically on openjdk-6-jre-headless.
