Are you aware of the package 'java-package'? For a 3rd party software
that required Oracle SDK with Swing it generated a debian package for
me. Basically back then it turned

jdk-8u191-linux-x64.tar.gz

into

oracle-java8-jdk_8u191_amd64.deb

I do not remember how exactly I called it, but it was easy enough.

You still would need to update the package manually, so I only use it
for that special program and use update-alternatives to switch to the
lastest openjdk in Debian otherwise.

Thanks,
