This is actually more of a debconf implementation than an adept bug.

"Debconf is a configuration management system for debian packages. Packages use Debconf to ask questions when they are installed." (debconf package description)

Basically Debconf is responsible for asking questions during package installation. It also provides a KDE GUI version (if libqt-perl is installed, which it is by default). When installing Java from the command line, debconf uses Yes/No "buttons", but uses a checkbox to do the same when using the KDE GUI version. It uses the exact same text in the command line version.

As far as debconf is concerned, this seems to be a valid behavior. I'm marking this report as Incomplete while waiting for additional input from the reporter or from the debconf maintainers. Thank you for your efforts in making our system better. :)
