Why is CPython 2.5 a dependency for Jython 2.5?

I'm running a box with Debian squeeze, and I just ran:

sudo aptitude install jython

which ended up installing Python 2.5:

[...]
Linking and byte-compiling packages for runtime python2.5...
Setting up python2.5 (2.5.5-11) ...


Does anyone know why CPython 2.5 is a dependency for Jython 2.5.1+ on 
Debian squeeze?
