The lack of a openjdk8 package makes it very difficult to install any
Java packages via apt, as they all end up depending on something like
'java7-runtime-headless | java6-runtime-headless'.  So you end up having
two different JDK installations just because of the lack of e.g. 'java8
-runtime-headless' pointing at an openjdk8.

  [needs-packaging]openjdk-8 in 14.04

Status in “openjdk-8” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  openjdk-8 is now available in Utopic:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-8/+bug/1297065

  According to the comments in that bug, a separate bug needs to be
  reported for backporting.

  I am especially interested in a package for 14.04, hence raising this
  specific bug.
