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.
