I don't think this is possible, the Clojure 1.6.0 documentation [1]
states that Java 6 is the minimum version required and gcj is stuck with
Java 5.

I'm not sure we can reliably set a minimum version on the
default-jre-headless dependency. If we set (>= 2:1.6) it will fail again
the next time the epoch is bumped (because 3:1.5 > 2:1.6). But at least
we should replace java2-runtime-headless with java6-runtime-headless.
