It has something to do with javahelper's internal logic. It can add the
correct Java runtime when it finds an executable jar file within your
package. Figtree relies on jarwrapper for making jar files executable
thus javahelper automatically adds a runtime dependency to your package.
The fastqc package doesn't use the jarwrapper mechanism hence a manual
dependency on default-jre | java7-runtime is needed.

Cheers,

Markus
