Hi,

There's something that has bugged me for awhile but I never really cared enough to figure it out.

Installing Oracle's Java on Ubuntu Server 16.04 using the webupd8 ppa: https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/ubuntu/java?field.series_filter=zesty

So when you try to install, it wants stuff like gsfonts, x11-common, gsfonts-x11, xfonts-utils and such. Since this is server and the JVM will never be executed in a graphical situation, is there a way to not install these packages?

Thanks.
