That's the one.

Most people rarely download a JDK when a JRE is largely sufficient for
almost everything they might need to launch a Java application,
especially as the JRE updates can be configured to be automatic, whereas
the JDK can not. A user must be aware by looking up for themselves that
there is a newer version of the JDK available (this doens't even happen
on Windows to my knowledge). The change made in that bug report means
that users have to choose between either foregoing Java functionality in
LibreOffice and receiving annoying nag messages that no Java is
installed, or else download and install a larger JDK (in comparison to
just the JRE) that they then have to manually update from time to time.
