+While technically possible, using file dependencies seems a bad idea 
+here, because they have their own limitations. And more generally, the 
+whole idea of altering our packages to allow better interaction with 
+non-packaged or foreign-controlled stuff defeat the whole purpose of a 
+self-contained distribution.
+
+Just remove openjdk using rpm --nodeps option. Or better, build your own 
+empty package, providing the missing dependencies (java, jre) as virtual 
+packages. I wonder if we could add some kind of --ignore-dependency 
+option to urpmi to achieve the same result.
