Package: openjdk-8-jre
Version: 8u181-b13-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Package openjdk-8-jre has Provides:
java2-runtime, java5-runtime, java6-runtime, java7-runtime, java8-runtime

It is missing "java-runtime". As result, some other packages that depend on java-runtime will force installation of JRE 7 (too old) or JRE 10 (too new, some tools still do not support it) and having JRE 8 will not satisfy their dependencies.

Other JRE versions in debian have "java-runtime" in their Provides:.

Package openjdk-7-jre Provides:
java-runtime, java2-runtime, java5-runtime, java6-runtime, java7-runtime

Package openjdk-10-jre Provides:
java-runtime, java10-runtime, java2-runtime, java5-runtime, java6-runtime, java7-runtime, java8-runtime, java9-runtime

Please add java-runtime to "Provides" section in the control file.

Equivalent ..-jdk packages do not suffer from this problem (JDK 7,8 and 10 provide "java-jdk")
