Indeed. This is a nasty problem that we have because we make one deb and one rpm, but al of the deb and rpm distributions have their own unique ways of depending on java so we don't declare java as a dependency. That was just annoying for years, but it is actively nasty now that we use java in the preinst phase. I'm sorry for this.
