Indeed, sorry.
Just one note: for me, the upstream tarball (downloaded by debian/rules
get-orig-source) contains a directory "openjdk8":
$ tar -tzf openjdk-8_8u5-b13.orig.tar.gz
openjdk8/
openjdk8/jdk8u-jdk8u5-b13.tar.xz
openjdk8/aarch64-port-jdk8-b132.tar.xz
Thus, after extracting openjdk-8_8u5-b13.orig.tar.gz in . (the directory
containing 'debian'), I had to move its contents (two tarballs) from
./openjdk8 to . [1]
--> maybe this should be mentioned in README.source?
[1] it also wouldn't help if I had extracted the orig tarball in the
parent of the clone directory, as the clone directory is named
'openjdk-8' (not 'openjdk8') by default.

Thanks for the explanation.
