Thanks, that is good information.

OK.
I could ask the backports people for access then handle those
backports (both, actually, at the same time) each time a new
src:openjdk-8 migrates to testing, if desired (on workplace time).
Would that help any?

Here, I meant, for our applications. That is, for example, when
installing a new prod system, what combination can work for how long?
wheezy+java6 is dead, so:
wheezy+java7 (from oldstable-security)
wheezy+java8 (from backports, once someone does them)
jessie+java7 (natively)
jessie+java8 (from backports)
This question also touches whether src:openjdk-7 still gets
security updates, and in which releases, and for how long.
Thanks,
