Package: general
Severity: normal

Many Java packages work successfully with a headless JRE; that is, one
that does not support graphics.  However, some of these packages depend
on java?-runtime instead of java?-runtime-headless.  As a consequence,
graphical JREs are installed when they are not needed (such as on
servers).

Java applications and libraries that correctly function with a headless
JRE should depend only on such a JRE, possibly with a recommends or
suggests on a graphical JRE if the program can benefit from it.

Please file bugs against the specific packages, filing a broad bug against the 
general package is quite useless, thus closing.
