Bug Description
The "eclipse" package is needed to get /usr/bin/eclipse. However, this requires the PDE and eclipse source. Eclipse source, as an example, requires 30 mb of disk space.

Please up the priority on this bug, we need a fix!
It's a very simple change! I went and fixed it myself but I would like to see it changed upstream so I don't have to mess with it after every upgrade. Simply change the Depends to eclipse-platform instead of eclipse-jde, eclipse-pde, and eclipse-source.
I don't do any java development, which precludes writing any plugins for eclipse, and I have no need to access the source code. I imagine this is true for most users of eclipse, aside from java developers who only need ONE of those three packages!
I thought I already filed a bug report on this issue for Breezy, though I can't find it now. I can't believe it still exists when the fix is so simple...
