    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.

    Thanks,

    Hello Thorsten,

    Oh, I somehow missed that, thank you very much for pointing it out, I
    will suggest upstream to make use of java-compiler then.

    Regards,
