Why is wip/virtualbox pulling lang/oracle-jre8 as a dependency?

pkgsrc and wip are current.

To get that file I have to have an account at oracle.com which I'd 
gladly not have.

But why is it requiring lang/oracle-jre8 at all? Why not lang/openjdk11?

$ bmake show-var VARNAME=_JRE_PKGSRCDIR
../../lang/oracle-jre8

Why?

$ bmake help topic=_JRE_PKGSRCDIR
No help found for _JRE_PKGSRCDIR.
