Most binary packages now install a file into /etc/revdep-rebuild setting
SEARCH_DIRS_MASK for that package, rather than blindly masking out the
whole of /opt without knowing what a user may have installed in there.
This includes a java file on the two boxes I've checked (one running IBM
Java and the other with Sun and Blackdown JDKs installed.

If the OP's Java package hasn't installed such a file, a bug report would
be in order.
