I don't know. At least they are aware that OpenJFX fails to build with a
raw OpenJDK not including OpenJFX and they seem willing to address that
issue.

Ok let's do that. The name of the package is open to discussion, as well
as how the OpenJFX files will be distributed between the openjdk-9-*
packages.
For the name, since OpenJFX is now clearly becoming an extension of
OpenJDK I was thinking about naming the source package
"openjdk-9-openjfx" or "openjdk-9-jfx", and appending "-build" to the
binary package. What would be a good location for installing the build
directory?
Regarding the distribution of the files, the lib/modules file of
openjdk-9-jre-headless will now contain the JavaFX classes, but the
native libraries should go into openjdk-9-jre. javapackager and
ant-javafx.jar would go into openjdk-9-jdk-headless.
