Can you please explain what do you mean by 'installation' here. Are you
referring to installation of compiler (-jdk) or installation of (-jre).

In case you are referring to installation of compiler, I don't
understand the need to have compiler installed without having complete
JRE.

openjdk-6-jdk should depend on openjdk-6-jre-headless too

Status in “openjdk-6” source package in Ubuntu: New

Bug description:
Binary package hint: openjdk-6-jdk

OpenJDK depends on:

Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3), libx11-6, openjdk-6-jre (>= 6b11-2ubuntu2), zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-1)

But it could and should depend on openjdk-6-jre OR openjdk-6-jre-headless. I don't need any of the bloated X references on a headless installation.
I would like to see this fixed.
