So what does java-runtime actually need to do, just show a EULA?
Surely you know about this before you've installed the package?

I'm not sure I agree, as all it would take to make installing java on
Ubuntu a possibility would be to hook up the Eula callbacks.

My personal view is that Canonical needs to recognise that Ubuntu is
made from Linux, not the other way around. But that's way off topic
for this mailing list.
