Actually default-jdk is a real metapackage, while default-mta is a
pure virtual package. I am not sure which way to pick here now.
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/default-mta
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/default-jdk
It depends on what behaviour you want on dist-upgrade.
A real package will stick arround, so if you switch the default then a
dist-upgrade will pull in the new default. On the other hand a virtual
package is never installed as such, so existing systems will keep their
existing implementation.
