I can see how that is less than optimal.

I think the best solution is to split out the binaries from libbatik-java;
that should allow use to remove the JRE dependencies per Java Policy.

As for the JRE dependencies, I think the java2-runtime-headless might have
been a mistake (and should have been java6 + java7).  I will check up on
that.
