Hi Adam,

This is our policy for packaging Java libraries (this is caught by
Lintian with the needless-dependency-on-jre tag). The dependency on the
runtime is declared by the package using the library. For example
libtomcat8-java doesn't depend on a JRE, tomcat8 depends on
libtomcat8-java and requires java7-runtime-headless.
