After some discussion on IRC, I think we've concluded that it's totally
OK to backport openjdk-7, since all of the packages have separate names
and can't conflict with old packages.

But I agree with Matthias that it's a good idea to hold off on the
backport until openjdk-7 is released, so let's re-examine this then.

Once the final release is available in oneiric, the easiest way to
accelerate the process is to test the backport yourself. Our
requirements are fairly straightforward: we require that the package
builds, installs, and starts on the release you're backporting it to.
The easiest way to test this is with the backportpackage script from
ubuntu-dev-tools.
