There are various non-GUI debugging tools (jps, jstack, jstat, etc) that
only come with the -jdk package, yet are very useful for debugging on
servers.  The compilation tools (javac) are very useful in headless CI
environments.  It's kind of a shame that we have to pull all these X11,
Gnome and other sound-system dependencies on a lot of servers, all for
nothing.

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.
