the only scenario in which recommended packages are not installed is if
they have deliberately been disabled, in which case surely the admin is
intelligent enough to install the package if needed.  for the other
99.99% of cases, there will be no issue, as recommended packages will be
installed, and thus both of these packages will have been installed.

Title:
  openjdk-7-jre-headless depends on undesirable packages

Status in “openjdk-7” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  hi-

  i see that both libcups2 and libpcsclite1 are marked as dependencies.
  i'm using openjdk-7-jre-headless on a computer that is not involved in
  any way with printing or cups, nor with pc/sc or any smart card
  services, and would not to not be forced to install these packages.

  thanks
  -ben
