 - lpia should be removed.
 - openjdk-8 sh4 is "not-for-us", needing intervention from somebody
 - openjdk-7 m68k is "not-for-us", needing intervention from somebody

I don't see a reason to keep 7 for too long. Maybe somebody could identify the
packages which build binary arch packages besides jni bindings or other java
