Oh, it needs to remain default-jdk for the backport.
default-jdk-headless doesn't exist on Jessie for some reason.

Of course. Perhaps before the release, the performance hit might be
resolved. Many thanks for tracking down the issue.

I can take care of the backport. That can remain based on the current
version in Unstable/Stretch since the problem won't exist on Jessie.
