Got it.

Even
openjdk-11 (11.0.3+4-2) unstable; urgency=medium

?
That one is the problem.
Let's compare:
buster has:
$ java -XshowSettings:properties -version 2>&1 | grep vendor
java.specification.vendor = Oracle Corporation
java.vendor = Oracle Corporation
java.vendor.url = http://java.oracle.com/
java.vendor.url.bug = http://bugreport.java.com/bugreport/
java.vm.specification.vendor = Oracle Corporation
java.vm.vendor = Oracle Corporation
sid has:
$ java -XshowSettings:properties -version 2>&1 | grep vendor
java.specification.vendor = Oracle Corporation
java.vendor = Debian
java.vendor.url = https://tracker.debian.org/openjdk-11
java.vendor.url.bug = https://bugs.debian.org/openjdk-11
java.vm.specification.vendor = Oracle Corporation
java.vm.vendor = Debian
Indeed, jvmfwk has a known list of JDKs, and "Debian" (or whatever else
distro) does not appear in it:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/jvmfwk/distributions/OpenOfficeorg/javavendors_linux.xml?h=libreoffice-6-1-5
and it looks in java.vendor:
jvmfwk/plugins/sunmajor/pluginlib/vendorbase.cxx: //get java.vendor,
java.version, java.home,
jvmfwk/plugins/sunmajor/pluginlib/vendorbase.cxx: if(! bVendor &&
prop.first == "java.vendor")
Indeed, after adding "Debian" as a copy of "Oracle Corporation" javaldx
works again.
We as distros can patch it for LibreOffice, but this change breaks LibreOffice
out there unless
patched, and I doubt they will (or will be happy) to add extra stanzas for
"Debian", "Ubuntu" or
whatever else.
I really believe this should be reverted.
