There are at least two issues here:
- a script (jabref) is provided without depending on the
corresponding interpreter packages
- even if the interpreter is installed in the headless
form, it's not good enough, as jabref is an UI application.
Maybe the least invasive fix is to just add a dependency on default-jre, however
if some of the jabref libraries can be used without any UI, then maybe better
split out a libjabref-java package, and let jabref depend on it.
