And of course -java-common does not depend on any JVM itself either.
The Java policy says that libraries (and -java-common is nothing else,
it just consists of loads of .jars and a .class file, the .class file
is important for JRE detection) shouldn't depend on JVMs itself but
applications using it should. (That's why -writer recommends it and
-base and the extensions written in Java depend on "some JVM")
Ok, maybe we should say
"Please ensure that the package openoffice.org-java-common
and some JRE is installed"
^^^^^^^^^^^^
but I consider this minor. It's obvious that you need a JRE when you
want/need Java stuff, besides that it's mentioned in the package
relations :)

It works also without that installed. Of course just without any
Java support.
