I have just fixed visualvm which was one of the remaining packages
depending on openjdk-6. We are down to two bugs preventing the removal:
https://bugs.debian.org/727805 (rjava)
https://bugs.debian.org/717015 (clojure1.2)
And there are a few build dependencies left on openjdk-6-jdk:
- java-access-bridge
- osmosis-plugin-borderextract (FTBFS since June 2013, #713177)

Having outdated packages in Debian is also an option, but not a must
have ;) The Java community is eager to use Java 8, we can't disappoint them.
What about turning openjdk-8 as the default Java on the platforms
supporting it and keeping openjdk-7 on the other architectures?
