As for 2012 still not possible to compile java without bloating the installed system to about twice the amount of installed packages? What happens if JDK is installed while ignoring it X11 dependencies? It seems javac runs well either. 
How about an extraction of javac and its true dependencies to a small package that the whole JDK depends on, but can be installed solely as well without the need for X and any GUI dependent tools? I like to ssh my server and build code under construction.

Title:
  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.
