Bug Description

The package only contains a source in a single .zip file.
Technically no dependencies are required.
Having the source depend on *-jdk and *-jre instead of their *-headless variants puts an undesirable dependency tree for servers, that pulls graphic packages.

summary: - Package openjdk-9-jdk-source depends on openjdk-9-jdk, should depend on
- openjdk-9-jdk-headless instead
+ Package openjdk-*-source depends on openjdk-*-jdk, should depend on
+ openjdk-*-headless instead

then why would you put the -source package on servers? The -source package is useful for development only.
