Description

A recent change to the Cassandra 5 branch has caused the Cassandra deb package to no longer install on systems that don't run OpenJDK

 

The following line is too restrictive

https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/trunk/debian/control#L14

It should be modified to use the java11-runtime and java17-runtime virtual packages.
