Description

Slightly late in process, I had noticed that Unlike java-x-openjdk{,-headless,-devel} packages, the temurin-x-{jdk,jre} do not complete each other, but instead sdk duplicates whole jre. Similarly, where java-x-openjdk-headless provides java alternatives master, and the java-x-openjdk-devel provides javac master, the temurin-x-jre provides java master, but temurin-x-jdk provides both java and javac master.

Especially with https://github.com/adoptium/installer/issues/917 in mind, it may be worthy to follow more dsitribution common stle, where jdk depends on jre and is adding files, instead of creating whole new isntallation with both jre and sdk. Stil it may be worthy to keep standaloe sdk as it was used to.

wdyt?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the package layouts and alternative handling for java-x-openjdk and temurin-x-{jdk,jre}, then read the related installer issue #917. No files or tests are named; the desired outcome is to decide whether the Temurin JDK should depend on and extend the JRE, while preserving or explicitly changing standalone SDK behavior.
