An uscan (watch file)-compatible webpage where new formal releases for
all versions are announced, that is consistent, and whose URL doesn’t
change, would be appreciated, as someone already said in the other
thread.

Not speaking authoritatively, but I’d think this could be a good thing,
as long as this would not mean that Debian is forced to produce results
100% identical to others (as some deviations e.g. from backporting some
security patches can be expected), but it’d be good to know them, and
perhaps fix those that are not deliberate. (But I’ll leave it to doko
or tony or so to speak authoritatively, also on what to test, since
there are multiple releases, backports sometimes from prereleases of
testing, sometimes from stable releases/stable-security…)
However, mind that Debian runs on more architectures than just x86/ARM:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=openjdk-11
Consistency inside Debian but across those architectures is also
important (also with the Zero VM, since Hotspot only exists for
a minority of architectures).

Why was 11.0.4+2-1 uploaded to sid during the freeze anyway, if it was
not intended for buster?
That is the question I personally would like to be answered.
It does leave the way for t-p-u, sure… and that’s the way to go now,
but this could have been avoided.
