That's really not the case as far as the linux systems I use are concerned...
A java dependency for QGIS would really be a pain.

In any case, you will not want to have a dependency between sextante and all 
of its modules. 
They are numerous, and growing. It should be the responsibility of the user to 
install the modules by itself to enable the sextante support with this module.
Otherwise the next QGIS installer will be 1.5Gb and a nightmare to package.
