Title:
  No installation without Java possible

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

Bug description:
  When you remove OpenJDK, Sun Java comes in. And when you then remove Sun Java again, OpenJDK pulls in.
  Why should that be dependent on each other? It must be possible to have an install without Java, like when you for example remove Firefox, no other browser comes in. When you remove Flash Player, no other flash player comes in.
  Then why not make it possible to have a system without Java?
