Bug#775775: ca-certificates-java: please add support for openjdk-8

[Joseph Ferguson]

Package: ca-certificates-java
Version: 20140324

I am having an issue on sid where ca-certificates-java does not find java
when using jdk 8, thus leaving the '/etc/ssl/certs/java/cacerts' uncreated.

Here is the command I run on a fresh system (technically a docker
container, but that is unrelated):
$ apt-get update && apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk='8u40~b09-1'

Here is the truncated output:
Setting up ca-certificates-java (20140324) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/ca-certificates-java.postinst: line 53: java: command
not found
/var/lib/dpkg/info/ca-certificates-java.postinst: line 66: java: command
not found
done.

I have made a patch of minimal changes (since you may want to tweak the
ordering) to add java-8 to the search paths.
