Hi Samuel, Thanks for the quick work on this! I have seen the changes in the git repo [1] and will build the package to see if I can get it to work with openjdk like it used to with older ext mechanism - for now all module examples I have seem need to be directly loaded with -p as you stated. It is just a guess at this time, but we might need to patch openjdk to load mods from other locations so debian packages can use that. I report back after doing some testing. I'm still working on the openjdk security updates, so might take a while to get my hands down on this.
