I totally agree, and quite surprised that not more people complain about this 
(and want this changed).
Alone in our company we wasted quite some time by getting unwanted openjdk-9 
debs installed:
* in most cases the problem of getting openjdk-9 installed when there's *no* 
(older) openjdk yet installed (we experienced this for ex with zookeeper and/or 
mesos debs) 
* but even in some cases with pre-installed openjdk-8, some deb packages were 
not happy with the installed openjdk-8(-jre). We just have this case with the 
jmx_prometheus_httpserver-*.deb pkg (in which case it must also be a bad 
dependency of that deb package)
