Title:
  java9: -version output seems wrong: "9-Ubuntu"

Status in openjdk-9 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Unless something big changed upstream, or regarding a policy
  somewhere, the version string that's printed when you run "java
  -version" seems wrong with openjdk-9:

  $ java -version
  openjdk version "9-Ubuntu"
  OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 9-Ubuntu+0-9b181-4)
  OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 9-Ubuntu+0-9b181-4, mixed mode)

  
  That is causing at least one application I have, from the Brazilian IRS, to fail when parsing that string (screenshot attached):
  """
  For input string: "9-U"
  """

  It works just fine with jre 1.8, where the -version output is saner:
  $ /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/bin/java -version
  openjdk version "1.8.0_144"
  OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_144-8u144-b01-2-b01)
  OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.144-b01, mixed mode)
