Really sorry, I had forgotten to push my last change, which is exactly what
you did (putting default-jdk in the Depends field of the tests). I have just
done it.

Thanks for looking at the issue and proposing a fix. It is very helpful!
I will thus look at it and investigate further the failures that remain.
