I believe we should tighten the dependency on default-jre-headless. We
currently have for tomcat8-common:

default-jre-headless | java8-runtime-headless | java8-runtime

We should simply change that to

default-jre-headless (>= 10) | java10-runtime-headless | java10-runtime


Tomcat 8 works with the current default-jre package but you must
manually install a Java 10 runtime at the moment since the dependency is
satisfied with Java 8. Just switch to OpenJDK 10 with the
update-alternatives mechanism and the error will go away.
