As announced last month, I've just uploaded java-common/0.73 which 
switches the default JRE to OpenJDK 17. The severity of the remaining 
bugs has been increased to serious.

Also worth noting, default-jre now provides a versioned java-runtime 
dependency. This means we can now replace the java<n>-runtime 
dependencies with java-runtime (>= n).

Happy Halloween!
