Great. Do we need to wait for the review mentioned in #desc19?

All ok.

I'll comment on it, but if people refrain from requesting it, it's less
time wasted for everybody.

I don't think it's a bashism. At least, dash seems to take it just fine.
Include it if you must.

You should explain, to me and in the changelog, why is it bogus. I
couldn't figure it out, and that's what changelogs are for.

So, I assume that even with disabling this, powerpc users can still use
the functionality with OpenJDK?
If a package is broken in an architecture, an alternative implementation
exists, and all users are going to get by its presence is pain for
seeing it not work, then I see nothing controversial about the removal.
Unless I've missed something.
