The packaging should correspond to the upstream release cycle.  If JRE and
JSDK are always released together (and so JRE is always simply a subset of
JSDK) it is fine to build all packages from the JSDK.  If they are sometimes
released separately, they should be packaged separately.

For all the JDKs I work with, the JRE and JSDK are released together as a
unit, so I build all custom packages from the JSDK only.
