Matthias, could you please update the description of this bug to explain why this package is required and what are the benefits of it?
The current package is basically openjdk-9 renamed and - as Steve pointed out - this won't make migration easier if the binaries it generates keep changing their names. Steve's proposal is to have a openjdk-11 package with openjdk 10 sources (and version) until we get to 11's GA. [1] I quickly discussed with Steve about - upon openjdk 11 release - having openjdk-10 as a transitional/dummy package depending on openjdk-11, but that's a worse solution than openjdk-lts package (or the above solution) as users might hardcode openjdk-10 paths into scripts. That's one of the reasons for pushing same-name binaries for the 10->11 migration.
