Users will probably ignore that and use it anyway. It would have been
good if it could be included and kept up to date, but that’s doubling
of efforts, not worth the hassle, plus it would mean people would ex‐
pect Java packages shipped with bullseye to work with 17, which isn’t
the case (plus shipping only one makes it easier/clearer).

FWIW there is some discussion around this near
https://lists.debian.org/debian-java/2020/11/threads.html#00025
and we sincerely hope that a one-time copying of the binary packages
from sid to bullseye-backports, followed by either binNMUing or a
regular upload, can be done.
The situation is currently like this:
$ rmadison openjdk-1{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}
openjdk-11 | 11.0.4+11-1~bpo9+1 | stretch-backports | source
openjdk-11 | 11.0.4+11-1~deb10u1 | stable | source
openjdk-11 | 11.0.4+11-1 | unstable | source
openjdk-11 | 11.0.6+10-1~bpo9+1 | stretch-backports | source
openjdk-11 | 11.0.9.1+1-1~deb10u2 | stable | source
openjdk-11 | 11.0.10+9-1 | testing | source
openjdk-11 | 11.0.10+9-1 | unstable | source
openjdk-15 | 15.0.2+7-1 | unstable | source
openjdk-16 | 16~34-1 | testing | source
openjdk-16 | 16~35-1 | buildd-unstable | source
openjdk-16 | 16~35-1 | unstable | source
openjdk-17 | 17~7-1 | testing | source
openjdk-17 | 17~8-1 | buildd-unstable | source
openjdk-17 | 17~8-1 | unstable | source
The idea here is to drop all but openjdk-11 from testing (→ bullseye)
while waiting for the official release of 17 in sid and backporting
that one it has migrated to testing/bookworm.
Adrian’s suggestion to use bpo version numbers in sid for this…

… sounds interesting, this keeps users’ expectations for backports
and is easily fixed in sid by uploading, once the copying is done.
(And, if needed, doing a ~bpo11+1b1 or ~bpo11+2 in backports.)
