Hi 

I'm trying to install the unofficial syslog-ng 3.7.2 Debian packages from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/laszlo_budai:/syslog-ng/Debian_8.0/ however I have a problem with the Java-related packages, since they have a package dependency on `default-jre`, and I'm using an Oracle JRE packaged using the `make-jpkg` utility which generates a Debian package providing `java-browser-plugin, java-runtime, java-runtime-headless, java-virtual-machine, java2-runtime, java2-runtime-headless, java6-runtime,
java6-runtime-headless, java7-runtime, java7-runtime-headless, java8-runtime, java8-runtime-headless`, but not `default-jre`.


Is it possible to modify those packages so that they depend on `java-runtime` instead? The `default-jre` packages also provide `java-runtime`.

Thank you,

m.
