Hi,

Therefore, would that be an acceptable course of action for you if I
restrict the architecture set of glpk-java to those were the default JDK
is openjdk, and then downgrade the present bug to severity important?

A better way seems to be:
Build-Depends: default-jdk (>= 2:1.6)

which is satisfied only by arches having openjdk-6 or openjdk-7 as
default currently.

That way, if kfreebsd (or any other architecture) switches to openjdk as
default in the future, your package can be built again without changes.
  (Although - I'm hoping kfreebsd, along with all release architectures,
might be able to use openjdk-7 for jessie, greatly simplifying things
and making this change unnecessary).

In the meantime, the outdated kfreebsd binaries could be removed by
ftpmaster if you'd like the package to migrate.

Steven, the kfreebsd port was backported from OpenJDK 8 by Damien. In the past we had to wait for several months for updated kfreebsd patches to get the openjdk-7 built again on these architectures, despite pinging the kfreebsd porters. How did that change? How can you make sure that this won't repeat again? I'm not in favour defaulting that again to openjdk-7 or openjdk-6.

  Matthias
