We're also finding that we cannot install Java 8 on Trusty anymore.  One
other thing I noted is that the openjdk-8 package seems to have a
'Breaks: ' directive for older versions of ca-certificates-java,
including this version.

This is a really serious issue for us, and this is not the first time
Java support on Ubuntu LTS has broken in really bad ways that makes me
wonder what sort of testing and validation these packages go through :/
