Title:
  16.04 incorrectly installs openjdk-9 to satisfy java8-runtime
  dependency

Status in openjdk-9 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hi,
  A user recently reported an issue on our bug tracker stating that our package was pulling in openjdk-9 and subsequently crashed when started. This apparently because openjdk-9 is the default choice for java8-runtime, which is quite surprising.

  Now it is technically correct that java9 does provide a java8-runtime,
  but java9 isn't even released yet and should definitely not be the
  default java8-runtime until that time.

  Same bug was reported against puppet here:
  https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/EZ-77
