Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: sun-java6-jdk
Ubuntu 10.04 with all updates installed
m...@server:~$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
Release: 10.04
m...@server:~$ uname -a

sun-java6-jdk:
Installato: 6.20dlj-1ubuntu3
Candidato: 6.20dlj-1ubuntu3
Tabella versione:

Installing sun-java-jdk installed (as expected!) a plethora of other packages,
includig sun-java6-bin, sun-java6-jre and many others.
I installed just tha using aptitude.
All installed dependencies were dutifully marked with "A" to indicate thy were
installed to fulfill dependencies.
Right after (no other installation/removal) I decided I didn't need java on
this machine and I used aptitude again to completely remove (purge)
sun-java6-jdk.and, to my surprise, no other package was marked for removal.
In particular neither sun-java6-bin nor sun-java6-jre will be removed.
It sems there is some loop in the dependency list that keeps the need
alive.
I need to streamline this machine and I will have to check all packages.
No big deal, but annoying.
