As others outlined in this thread the compilation of Java 11 is not so simple.
At work we decided to give the builds of the AdoptOpenJDK.net initiative a try.
If you trust those builds or not is something you've to decided.
For now we're just mirroring them internally and pull them into docker images
which is easy[1]. We're currently looking into extending my fork of java-package[2]
further to also support converting those binary builds to Debian packages. On the
other hand, if you just want to drop the jdk somewhere into /opt/jvm/jdk11 or something
like that, I guess you're faster with using a hammer like fpm to force it into a .deb.

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk11-binaries/master/releases.json | \
jq -r ".[].assets[].browser_download_url" | \
grep -E "OpenJDK11.+x64_linux_hotspot"
+ downloading and checksum verification.
