Hi Magnus , for OpenJDK11 (11u) we might mention the packages .
For the jdk/jdk it probably does not make much sense and the URLs
are the way to go
Good point. JDK-8219788 is for jdk/jdk (13), feel free to open another
bug for 11u.

Btw. Speaking about help.m4 help output , the mentioning of
openjdk-8-jdk in the various package-installer help outputs seems to be
outdated and misleading to me :

I think we would need jdk11 by now (or soon jdk12, but I am not sure
about package availability at the various distros for 12).
I agree. It's a bit of a problem, because the availability of the N-1
JDK needed to compile is not regularly available through the normal
distro package system, as other dependencies are.
I suspect we should stop referring to using the system package
installer for the boot jdk, and instead point to http://jdk.java.net
for the core platforms, and https://adoptopenjdk.net/ for the rest.
