No, it's precisely the correct course. Please read the Java policy and the
information on
  http://pkg-java.alioth.debian.org/

You should not build-depend on a virtual package, but rather select one of
the available environments (preferably java-gcj-compat-dev if it works for
you). This guarantees consistent build results.

(In contrast, the resulting packages should depend on virtual packages for
the Java environment, so that they run with whatever the user has
installed.)
