Hi! I assume this topic has been discussed in the past, but I do not know where to find any past discussion.
I am wondering why the openjdk-*-jdk packages always depend on the full -jre and not the -jre-headless package. I understand on desktops it can be beneficial to install the jdk and get the full jre as well as a dependency. But I often install the jdk on a headless server too, where it pulls in a lot of desktop dependencies, which are not desire full. I would like to open discussion, whether it is possible to make the jdk depend on the headless jre only. The full jre could be a recommends, so it does get install by default, but advanced users can choose to not install it. Best regards, Jan Henke
