I'm not sure to understand the rebuild issue. If we split
src:icedtea-web, we'll have:

- src:icedtea-web producing icedtea-7-plugin
- src:icedtea-8-web producing icedtea-8-plugin
- src:icedtea-9-web producing icedtea-9-plugin (in the future)

With an intermediate package we would have this dependency chain:

    default-jre -> default-java-plugin -> icedtea-8-plugin

and with the solution 3 we would have:

    default-jre -> icedtea-8-plugin

In both cases, a transition to Java 9 implies uploading
src:icedtea-9-web first and then switching the dependency in
src:java-common. Did I miss something?
