We can't do that. The support to build tzdata-java seems to have been
removed from openjdk, that's why we had to stop building it. Anyway it
seems that openjdk-7 will be removed soon given the bugs that have been
opened:
- https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=814157
- https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=814159
- https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=814165
- https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=814167
- https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=814174

Now it would be could if openjdk people can actually comment on that.

Thanks, Aurelien. If the OpenJDK team intends the immediate removal of openjdk-7 from unstable, that would resolve both #818304 and #818308. I did not see anything in transitions. I am not sure how this change is announced.

Kind regards,
