   🎯 Triage report

   The requester asks whether CloudStack packaging could depend on the -headless variants of java-17-openjdk/java-21-openjdk instead of the full JDK packages, to avoid pulling in unnecessary graphical dependencies on production (typically headless) systems. A maintainer (@weizhouapache) has already agreed this is a good idea.

   📊 Assessment

   Dimension	Value	Reasoning
   Type	type:enhancement	Requests a packaging dependency change, not a bug fix.
   Component	component:packaging	Concerns RPM/DEB package dependency declarations for CloudStack components.
   Severity	n/a	Not a bug; no severity applicable.
   Labels	type:enhancement, component:packaging	See above.
   Coding agent	Suitable	Maintainer has confirmed agreement with the approach; the change is well-scoped (swap JDK package dependency names to -headless variants in packaging specs/scripts) and self-contained.

   No similar open issues were found for this specific packaging/dependency request.

   💡 Notes and suggestions

   • Likely implementation locations: RPM .spec files and Debian control/packaging scripts under the packaging/ directory where java-17-openjdk/java-21-openjdk are declared as Requires/Depends.
   • Should verify -headless packages are available across all supported distros/versions (CentOS/RHEL/Rocky, Ubuntu/Debian) before switching, and confirm no CloudStack component actually needs AWT/graphical JDK libraries at runtime.
   • Since a maintainer already agreed, this could be a good "good first issue" / help-wanted candidate for a contributor PR.
