Public bug reported: This causes for instance `javaws` not to be able to use jre-8 even after `update-java-alternatives --set java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64` and requires to manually change the link.
I am not sure it's completely relevant to the `java-common` package (maybe more to `default-jre-headless`), but I report it here because the script belongs to this package.
