But we of course can instate this when cacao is fixed. Buut until that
it's now way to generically depend on java5-runtime unless we want
break OOo (see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=495876)

Still valid. Although I fear that whoever else providing Java (which might
not work with OOo) also would provide jre....
