They are also provided by openjdk-*-jre, so you can, for example,
install a package depending on java6-runtime on wheezy (pre-LTS)
whose default-jre pulled in openjdk-6-jre but run it with
openjdk-7-jre instead of that. Or even openjdk-8-jre backported
yourself.
That’s extremely useful. It’s best to have at most *one* JRE
on any given Debian system, after all. Experience speaking.
