That should also be possible with the versioned virtual package:

     default-jre (>= 2:1.n) | java-runtime (>= n)

I agree the sooner the openjdk-<n> packages provide java-runtime (= n) 
the better. But I don't see the need to wait a decade before using the 
versioned java-runtime dependency in the packaged applications, what 
issue do you foresee?
