Bug#742864: Update to jdk8u20-b18
Hi Thomas,
Thank you very much for your help with OpenJDK 8.

Actually debian/control is generated from a template
(debian/templates/control.in) and has to be refreshed for your
distribution. You do that by touching the template and running
'./debian/rules debian/control'. This is a bit tricky, I'll document it
in debian/README.source.

I believe there is a new tag every week or so, I don't think we really
want to push updates that fast. Currently the package tracks the OpenJDK
builds used by Oracle to release the official version of Java. This is
done by parsing the documentation download page [1], I wrote a small PHP
page [2] that performs this task for Java 7 and 8.
That said, tracking the Mercurial tags will be useful for OpenJDK 9
until it's officially released.

Excellent, I'll pull the changes I can apply now, but I'll wait for Java
8u20 before updating the patches.
