The fact that this error showed up between 2.2.0+dfsg-4 and
2.2.0+dfsg-7 suggests that it may be possible to do without this Java

build dependency on default-jdk to (>= 2:1.8~), noting the epoch.
Yes, it would seem possible to tweak the build rules in this case given that the underlying
version used to build.

We need to port openjdk but that's a significant amount of work and time.  We need a
volunteer!
