Note that this asks the general question of what we should put in Depends/Recommends/Suggests for Java library packages :
- A "Depends" on the minimal virtual package (most of the time the -headless one) needed to make use of it ?
- A "Recommends" on the same ?
- Nothing, and let the package that runs it pull the necessary runtime ?
Currently in main we can find a combination of those solutions, usually resulting in too much being pulled in for server platforms.
Note that a discussion of this issue is on the agenda of the java community meeting of Jul 17.
