Check with the pkgutil command line tool if forgetting your package
fixes the issue.
In 99.99% of cases, this happens because you really have a newer
version on disk.

Thread-topic: automating java install in packages for 10.7 clients
User-agent: Microsoft-MacOutlook/14.12.0.110505
This doesn't specifically answer the dependency issue of installing it
within a package as needed, but a couple thoughts:
The Java for Lion installer is available via the Apple Software Update
page, so you can install it via any means you like.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1421
If it needs to be pulled automatically, the Java bits are also provided in
Apple's Software Update catalog, so a .pkg can be automatically downloaded
and installed:
http://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/others/index-lion-snowleopard-leop
ard.merged-1.sucatalog
But you're never guaranteed that anything will be in that catalog
permanently.
It probably won't be provided by Apple much longer, and in terms of
keeping it up to date, we can only Oracle implement an installation that's
as simple to deploy.
