Hello team,

I noticed an upstream project having to resort to
"Depends: default-jdk | openjdk-11-jdk | openjdk-8-jdk"
to allow its users to install their project with other jdk versions
(as they support multiple ones).

They also support multiple php versions but they don't need to resort
to the same workaround since the "php" package is provided by all the
other releases (whereas the "php" package can still default to a
certain version).

I understand this is likely to never be an issue for official
packages, but it would make it easier for upstream projects to support
Debian and its derivatives.

I'd like to request this same feature for the java ecosystem on Debian.

Reference:

https://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-1487

Thanks,
