Actually there is nothing Debian specific here, the jre/bin/ and bin/ directories have been there for ~20 years in all Java distributions. It just changed two months ago with the release of Java 9. If you are referring to the fact that Debian installs both the JRE and the JDK in the same directory (/usr/lib/jvm/default-java) that's also true for Fedora and Arch Linux. Emmanuel Bourg
