Here's the change for oneiric for java-access-bridge. With this change,
installing openjdk-{jdk,jre} no longer pulls in any openjdk-6 components
by default. I have not tried this change for precise, but my gut feeling
is that it will probably Just Work.

For those who cannot wait for this change in oneiric, I've built it in
the PPA https://launchpad.net/~duh/+archive/duh (ppa:duh/duh).

** Patch added: "Change dependency from openjdk-6-jre to java6-runtime (fixes LP: #881218)"

Title:
  openjdk-7-jre depends on openjdk-6-jre

Status in “ca-certificates-java” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “java-access-bridge” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  There is a circular dependency between openjdk-7-jre and
  openjdk-6-jre. As a result if I install openjdk-7-jdk, openjdk-6-jre
  is installed and if I remove openjdk-6-jre, openjdk-7-jdk is also
  removed.
