You are again ignoring reasons already explained. Jpackage specializes in Java packages and doesn't include all the packages Fedora does and vice versa. So the dependencies cannot be the same. Even it does there are differences in release cycles, patches, packaging and licensing policy among other reasons. It is pretty difficult to have two variants of a software with different maintainers in two different repositories perfectly in sync all the time even with the best efforts.
