Bug#596203: ant: must depend by java2-runtime-headless instead of java2-runtime

Package: ant
Version: 1.7.0-6
Severity: normal

I installed libjetty-extra-java who dipend by ant.
According me, because ant is a console based utility (has no gui) it must depend only by java2-runtime-headless.
As now it force me to install a full java gui installation, with all related dependecies.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thank you
Michele Renda
