Together with moving java(ClassDataVersion) to -jre-base this change
inverts dependencies -- instead of always requiring some specific default
jre it's now easier to have parallel non conflicting installations of
-jre-base with user selected default jre at the expense of slight chance
of not having default jre at all (which actually might be desired). It's
still not ideal but slightly less bad than previous situation, at least
from my point of view.

For the time being it's only in openjdk8 and comments are welcome. If
there are no objections it will be propagated to other versions as well.

I would also like to rename current openjdk8-jre to openjdk8-default-jre
(and similarly other packages) and drop -base suffix ie
openjdk8-jre-base -> openjdk8-jre to better express the intension.
poldek might be confused on upgrades though.
