PLF has not traditionally handled Java software. Besides, PLF does not
distribute things which it does not have a legal right to distribute (as
far as I know) and the jdk falls in this category. It has nothing to do
with it being non-free, but instead has to do with the fact that
individual users cannot distribute it.

JPackage cannot distribute the jdk, and neither can Debian. Both
projects handle it similarly: try to make it easier for the user to
create a package on their own.
