To satisfy server admins not forcing them install lots of typical desktop deps (FS#27621) I've reworked our (openjdk7) JRE pkg and now it's splitted into jre7-opnjdk-headless and an addon jre7-openjdk desktop package. (I've followed Debian here, they do a good job here).
I expect some people crying again "hell no, no more splitting..." but who cares. I have to satisfy the KISS people and also those that want it slack and without useless crap on their disc. Packages are in testing. Please test them well. The packages are meant to prepare the 7u2 Icedtea update expected within the next few weeks. The update path should be smooth. Everything should work after an -Syu and if you don't need the desktop stuff feel free to -R jre7-openjdk. -Andy
