Jython allows to be installed with an old version of Java, but then
fails to run:
# apt install openjdk-8-jre-headless jython --no-install-recommends
# jython

This is a compatibility problem introduced with Java 9. It can be solved
by replacing the dependency "java5-runtime-headless" by
"java9-runtime-headless"; see the attached patch. Launchpad bugs
#1771476 and #1784043 report similar problems, which would be fixed as
well.
