Package: icedtea-netx
Version: 1.5.1-1
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to install

When trying to build an unrelated package in a clean sid chroot things failed
when installing build dependencies:

dpkg: error processing package icedtea-netx:amd64 (--configure):

It seems the postinst script assumes OpenJDK 8 is installed!?

Best,
Michael
