The lack of a openjdk8 package makes it very difficult to install any Java packages via apt, as they all end up depending on something like 'java7-runtime-headless | java6-runtime-headless'. So you end up having two different JDK installations just because of the lack of e.g. 'java8 -runtime-headless' pointing at an openjdk8.
