Yes, it was supposed to export only the JRE. Javac is part of the SDK.
Perhaps java-common should export the 'default-jvm' to environment
then. Or potentially have the SDK packages provide the environment. But
at least for JRE only I'd rather not export anything to environment
unless absolute necessary for some specific reason.
