I don't necessarily see a circular dependency, but it doesn't make
sense that in this case we see default-jre-headless configured *before*
its dependency, openjdk-7-jre-headless. This leads to zookeeper being
configured before openjdk-7-jre-headless as well, which then leads to
a missing /usr/bin/java. I thought the order of configuring was a dpkg
operation, not apt.
