They can't. Several reasons:
* Packaging guidelines clearly state BR/R: java
* Maven packages have automatically generated requires on java (or
java-devel)
To *really* make use of java-headless few things need to happen:
* guidelines have to be updated
* java-packages have to be changed to R: java-headless by default
* Maven packages are rebuilt
* packages not built with maven are migrated manually
* leaf applications make sure they have R: java

If you need to get in touch with rel-engs file a ticket[1], don't CC their ML or
it's going to get lost
