Title:
  openjdk-6-jre-headless has font packages hardcoded in its Suggests filed

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

Bug description:
  as title says already. Instead of hardcoding font package names  here, it would be betterto just provide the following list:

language-support-fonts-zh-hans | language-support-fonts-zh-hant | language-support-fonts-ja | language-support-fonts-ko, ttf-indic-fonts-core, ttf-punjabi-fonts

This supports the same goal, but is more flexible, if we change the default fonts for some languages, like we did for Lucid.

OTOH, I'm wondering if the fonts packages in the Suggests: filed are necessary at all...

BTW: the desktop seeds include already fonts for each of those languages, therefor I think mentioning the font packages in the Suggests: filed is not necessary at all.

If you really need to keep the font lists, please update them to include
ttf-takao-gothic | ttf-takao-mincho for Japanese and
ttf-wqy-microhei | ttf-wqy-zenhei for Chinese.
The Takao and microhei fonts are the default desktop fonts in Lucid.

IMHO, users who need additional font packages to display their language, will have them installed anyways, so pulling them through Suggests is unnecessary.
