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.
