pdftk does not use the installed java runtime directly by calling
'java', but links binary to the CNI (Cygnus Native Interface for
C++/Java Integration) which comes only with libgcj.
Some of the packages which pdftk seems to depend on are only (indirect)
recommends/suggestions from other packages. As far as I can see, you can
remove them without problems, like icedtea-6-jre-cacao.
It seems that you have installed your JDK to /opt/jdk manually.
Therefore it cannot and should not be detected by the package manager.
To circumvent this, you can theoretically use self-generated dummy
packages (for example using equivs), but this is a little complicated
and you cannot expect any support.
The current pdftk 1.44-1 version in Natty Narwhal has somewhat less
dependencies on other packages, but needs in exchange more disk space.
