Hi Jan,

I tend to agree but I wouldn't change the dependencies of the *-jdk
package to avoid disrupting the current installations.

We could probably add an openjdk-8-jdk-headless package depending on
openjdk-8-jre-headless, and change openjdk-8-jdk to depend on
openjdk-8-jdk-headless and openjdk-8-jre.

I don't think it makes sense to changes the openjdk-7 packages at this
point if we plan to remove them in Stretch.
