Public bug reported:

I intend to use Eclipse with Oracle JDK. However, after installed Oracle
JDK from Web Upd8 PPA, apt-get still wants to install Open JDK as a
dependency of Eclipse.

I then took a look at the dependencies among the packages, the current dependency chain appears to be like this:
eclipse ->eclipse-jdt -> default-jre -> openjdk-7-jre

openjdk-7-jre must 'provide' default-jre, as how oracle-java7-installer
does, instead of being a dependency of it.

To reproduce:
$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-set-default
$ sudo apt-get install eclipse
$ sudo dpkg-query -W -f='${Status}\n' openjdk-7-jre

Expected:
$ sudo dpkg-query -W -f='${Status}\n' openjdk-7-jre
unknown ok not-installed

Actual:
$ sudo dpkg-query -W -f='${Status}\n' openjdk-7-jre
install ok installed
