Thanks.

I meant not implemented for java, specifically. But I was wrong: we do 
have e.g. java8-runtime-headless listed in
https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/virtual-package-names-list.txt

So the package mentioned by Vincent may be better off Depending on it 
rather than on default-jre-headless (>= anything).

Kind regards, Thibaut.
