Java2-runtime is a virtual package and it "doesn't exist"

Quote from Debian policy (http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-
binary.html#s-virtual_pkg):

"Sometimes, there are several packages which offer more-or-less the same
functionality. In this case, it's useful to define a virtual package
whose name describes that common functionality. (The virtual packages
only exist logically, not physically; that's why they are called
virtual.) The packages with this particular function will then provide
the virtual package. Thus, any other package requiring that function can
simply depend on the virtual package without having to specify all
possible packages individually. "

This means you "have" java2-runtime if you have one of following packages: 
gij-4.1
j2re1.4
java-gcj-compat
openjdk-6-jre
sun-java5-jre
sun-java6-jre
