How do I remove OpenJDK without losing JDownloader?

I recently installed Sun's Java because of performance issues running Minecraft.

When I try to remove the OpenJDK packages by

sudo apt-get purge openjdk*

however, the JDownloader package is being removed as well.
If I try to remove all OpenJDK-7 packages one by one, OpenJDK-6 is being installed instead.

IMHO there should be a way to satisfy JDownloader's dependencies for a Java runtime environment with Sun's version.

Is there any way to keep JDownloader while completely removing the opensource Java versions?

EDIT: As explained by user tumbleweed, this issue was caused by a temporary bug which soon afterwards has been resolved.

The real answer here is that that package was buggy, it depended on specific JDKs rather than the generic javaX-runtime virtual packages.

I pointed this out to the maintainer of the PPA, and he's uploaded a new version that depends on default-jre | java6-runtime | java7-runtime. This should be satisfied by the Sun JDK.
