I know, but the openjdk-8 build doesn't do that (which admittedly is not
a failure of jtreg), even on Sid. Remove default-jre-headless and give
it a try. ;-)

As I've written in the report, I know that a hard dependency would not
be appropriate. I'm not sure if suggested or recommended is more
suitable, but I'm not going to complain either way. :-)

Actually, it does. I haven't checked if some of the reported failures
and errors are due to the older version, but the test suite runs on my
wheezy system – as long as default-jre-headless is installed.

Kind regards,
