I did find a bug with the same behavior you described. I have no idea why someone *removed* the dependency on a functional JRE from the cassandra package - this is *not* the same Depends: line as the upstream OSS cassandra package
Quick follow-up on why this package deviates from the upstream deb package: this is done to prevent users from being force-installed the OpenJDK packages, since most users install the Oracle JRE from tar [0]. This installation of OpenJDK via package steps on the hand-installed java alternatives symlinks. I had assumed, incorrectly, that the cassandra package in the DSC repository was the identical package as in the Apache repository.
