2) is the only option which is *not* reasonable, breaking update-java-
alternatives(8) and leaving dangling symlinks. If you want to work on
3), you have to update the update-java-alternatives(8) program as well,
and change this in all of gcj-4.3, gcj-4.4, openjdk-6, sun-java5 and
sun-java6.

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

Status in “openjdk-6” package in Ubuntu: Triaged

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.
