The difficulty is the policy that applies to backported packages. A package that is backported from the Debian release n+1 to the release n has to remain upgradable when the system is upgraded. For this to happen the version backported must rank lower than the version in the next release. That's why there are weird suffixes appended to the versions of the backported packages (1.2.3-1~bpo9+1 is lower than 1.2.3-1). Currently Debian Buster has openjdk-11/11.0.3+1-1, so it isn't possible to upload the version 11.0.3+7-1~bpo9+1 to stretch-backports. The only solutions is to either upgrade openjdk-11 in testing to a version higher than 11.0.3+7, or patch the existing version. Since testing is currently frozen and difficult to update until the release of Buster, it leaves only the patch solution. Emmanuel Bourg
