Title:
  java-runtime-headless no longer provided by openjdk-8-jre-headless

Status in openjdk-8 package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  On Ubuntu 15.10, version 8u91-b14-0ubuntu4~15.10.1 no longer provides
  virtual package `java-runtime-headless` while the older version does
  (8u66-b01-5):

  $ apt-cache show openjdk-8-jre-headless | grep 'Provides\|Version'
  Version: 8u91-b14-0ubuntu4~15.10.1
  Provides: java2-runtime-headless, java5-runtime-headless, java6-runtime-headless, java7-runtime-headless, java8-runtime-headless
  Version: 8u66-b01-5
  Provides: java-runtime-headless, java2-runtime-headless, java5-runtime-headless, java6-runtime-headless, java7-runtime-headless, java8-runtime-headless

  ...
  Package java-runtime-headless is a virtual package provided by:
    openjdk-6-jre-headless 6b38-1.13.10-0ubuntu0.15.10.1
    openjdk-7-jre-headless 7u101-2.6.6-0ubuntu0.15.10.1
    gcj-4.8-jre-headless 4.8.5-1ubuntu1
    gcj-jre-headless 4:5.2.1-3ubuntu1
    gcj-5-jre-headless 5.2.1-22ubuntu2
    gcj-4.9-jre-headless 4.9.3-5ubuntu1
    default-jre-headless 2:1.7-52
  You should explicitly select one to install.

  E: Package 'java-runtime-headless' has no installation candidate
  ...

  This breaks many programs that have `java-runtime-headless` as a
  requirement.
