Hi,

The oracle-java8-installer package in the webupd8team PPA again inflates the priorities for the alternatives, as in looking for the highest available alternative, then adding one to it and using that as the new alternative value. This is not how it should be, and even wrong when you install multiple oracle-java*-installer packages. You seem to have an oracle-java8-set-default package which explicitly should do that, don't mess around with the priorities for the alternatives. Pretty please fix this in a way that you don't just inflate the priority of the alternatives. I'm getting bug reports for the openjdk-8 packages which turn out as issues with the oracle-java8-installer packages. Tell people instead how to explicitly set alternatives, or to install the oracle-java8-set-default package.

Thanks, Matthias
