Lintian tag: needless-dependency-on-jre
Type: warning
Description (from lintian-explain-tags
)
The package appear to be a Java library and depending on one or more
JRE/JDK packages. As of 05 Apr 2010, the Java Policy no longer mandates
that Java libraries depend on Java Runtimes.
If the library package ships executables along with the library, then
please consider making this an application package or move the binaries to
a (new) application package.
If there is otherwise a valid reason for this dependency, please override
the tag.
