I have icedtea installed so why does portage want to install icedtea-bin?

# eselect java-vm list
Available Java Virtual Machines:
[1] icedtea-6 system-vm

# emerge -pvDuNt world
[nomerge ] [masked java app]
[nomerge ] virtual/jre-1.6.0-r1:1.6
[nomerge ] virtual/jdk-1.6.0-r2:1.6
[ebuild N ] dev-java/icedtea-bin-6.1.12.7:6 USE="X alsa cups nsplugin -cjk -doc -examples -source" 0 kB

Why doesn't the installed dev-java/icedtea-6.1.12.7 satisfy the app's java dep? The app's ebuild says:

DEPEND=">=virtual/jre-1.6"
