Ah, you mean "reword". Sorry, read "remove"

Still no. It comes from a core lib which doesn't know what you just installed and it
can't read your brain on what you use. If you don't have problems fine, if something's not
working for you install the JVM.
This warning was patched in from us exactly because of the scenario in the second point above.
People just didn't grok they needed a JVM and/or -java-common for some stuff.
Maybe you should invest your time in better things than filing "bugs" like this.
