Status in “java-access-bridge” source package in Ubuntu: Fix Released

Bug description:
libaccess-bridge-java in Karmic introduced the following change (as of 1.26.0-0ubuntu1):

-Depends: openjdk-6-jre | cacao-oj6-jre | java5-runtime-headless
+Depends: openjdk-6-jre

Since openjdk-6-jre-headless depends on libaccess-bridge-java, this basically makes -jre-headless completely useless... as installing it will just install the non-headless version as well.

This results in server CD inflation at a time where we try to free up as much space as possible for the new cloud features.

Does it make sense to revert the dependency change ?
