Hello,
I don't think that is possible since you can't build Java 8 code to target a lower JVM. You probably could if you used only those API's, but I believe you can't make that kind of assumption for all libraries. I think this link might be more helpfull: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/8-compatibility-guide-2156366.html Disclaymer: I hope I understood your question right. I'm a developer, and don't know a lot of internals related to packaging and policies around Java on Debian.
