(buildd chroot bug) Re: Bug#1040167: openjdk-8-jre-headless: version 8u382~b04-1 depends on libjpeg8 which is not in Debian

OK so first analysis is showing the cause of the problem:
• the buildd chroots for sid/unstable do not identify themselves as
sid/unstable but instead as trixie/testing, which is a bug onto
itself¹
• the source package checks the buildd release codename and does
things based on that; normally, the tests are written in a manner
that they fall through to the latest (i.e. they test for known
names of older releases for the old behaviour, and use the new
behaviour if none of the old release names is used); the code to
handle the long ago libjpeg62→libjpeg8→libjpeg62-turbo transition
however was written the other way round, which causes trouble if
the new release is unknown
I’ll fix that in the source, but first I need to get the situation
fixed as openjdk-8 build-depends on itself, which will be bad if
it’s not installable.
I’m going to change all uses of the distro codename to fall safely,
however if the buildd chroot bug could be fixed, I’d be glad.

① sid buildd chroots should save the following content…
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux sid"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/";
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support";
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/";
VERSION_ID=unstable
VERSION_CODENAME=sid
… as /usr/lib/os-release.sid (in the chroot) and run…
# dpkg-divert --rename --divert /usr/lib/os-release.dpkg-dist \
--add /usr/lib/os-release
# ln -sfT os-release.sid /usr/lib/os-release
… in the chroot, so the reported lsb_release is correct. They used
to have this in /etc/lsb-release, but the lsb-release program no
longer uses that.
