the spec doesn't talk how to identify vendor builds, and doesn't talk
about how to configure the build to include this information in the
version information.  Yes, it should be changed. Let's wait for the
first "update" version, how the version information will change with
that.

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)
