I was under the impression that a RC-bug for bullseye on the package, would inhibit automatic transition from testing to bullseye. Anyway, I just noticed that adoptopenjdk has begun offering their openjdk 8 builds as debian packages in a package repository of their own. Which is great, and completely meets my nice-to-have request without wasting the precious time of the Debian Java Team. So this followup is mostly a hint to others who might find this thread in search of openjdk-8 packages for buster. Repo usage instructions are here: https://adoptopenjdk.net/installation.html#linux-pkg And, while I'm posting, a big thank you to everyone involved in Debian, you're awesome! :) -- Fredrik Jonson
