Doesn't really matter that much to me:
What I see after the lenny installation/upgrade is, that I have a whole lot of
java packages because of OO.o. O lot of them don't seem to be necessary.

This looks a lot like misplaced Recommends somewhere in the dependency chain.

Why close? I still have this awfully long list of java dependencies.
If it's not OO.o fault, then please reassign, but do not simply close them.
