Title:
  Improve understandability of package versions for JDK Early Access

Status in openjdk-17 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in openjdk-lts package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The current package version of the OpenJDK 17, currently in Early
  Access, looks as follows:

    openjdk-17-jdk/hirsute-updates,hirsute-security,now 17~19-1ubuntu1
  amd64

  The `~` in 17~19 should indicate that it is an Early Access, but it is
  not understandable for Java developers not acquainted with Debian
  package version rules.

  The proposal is to add the `ea` suffix to Early Build package version,
  so that the 19th EA build of OpenJDK 17, would be:

    openjdk-17-jdk/hirsute-updates,hirsute-security,now 17~19ea-1ubuntu1
  amd64

  The above, adds the `ea` marker that is understandable to Java people
  without compromising the structure of the package version.
