For Java the library packages never depend on the runtime. Only the
applications depend on a runtime package (typically java[0-9]+-runtime |
 default-jre).

And in general we avoid mentioning the dependencies provided by the
environment executing the code. For example, a library using the Servlet
API will not have an explicit dependency on libservlet-java, because the
dependency is necessarily pulled by the Servlet container running the
code (Tomcat, Jetty, etc).
