Re: Defer postinst after a given package
Thank you Eberhard and Andrey for your help. So I added default-jre-headless (which permits to install the correct jdk version) to the depends. But even if default-jre-headless was installed before B, openjdk-11-jre-headless still got installed at the end after B. This is probably because it waits for some reason (triggers?) the end of the setup phase. I finally added openjdk-11-jre-headless instead, what fixed my issue. However I don't find this nice because with each Debian release, the openjdk version must be set to the one that is really shipped while it is the job of default-jre-headless to manage this. Does that seem an expected behaviour to you or is it a bug? Would there be a better way to do this? Thanks. Fab

Re: Defer postinst after a given package
If B runs a postinst script which requires Java, then I'd think it needs a dependency on Java in d/control. That also solves the problem with ensuring that B is setup after Java.
