there are still dependencies; you could use the equivs package to
provide the needed dependencies and then remove openjdk. but it's not
recommended.

the actual error is:

Setting up openjdk-6-jre-headless (6b16-1.6.1-1ubuntu3) ...
update-alternatives: warning: forcing reinstallation of alternative 
/usr/lib/jvm/default-java/bin/java because link group java is broken.
Can't call method "slave" on an undefined value at 
/usr/sbin/update-alternatives line 1017.
dpkg: error processing openjdk-6-jre-headless (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 255

so something did go wrong with the alternatives.

won't fix

** Changed in: openjdk-6 (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Won't Fix
