This is impossible because that package does not exist anymore for Octave 3.8 or higher. The current dependency is default-jre-headless. This should be a build-dep (because the current Octave build system has an outstanding issue about requiring a Java implementation at build time) but downgraded to a Recommends. I don't know how feasible this is. It may require patches on Octave itself to not require Java at compile time. - Jordi G.
