Sorry, but not every problem one person has is a *release-critical*
bug in said package. Especially not if that testing is ooold.

No, you didn't. If you did you wouldn't have a loads of obsolete
versions of stuff installed. Like default-jre pointing to 10 whereas
it is 11 since looong. And LibreOffice 1:6.1.3-2 already was
obsoleted. (At least that is what you report it against and your
reportbug-generated info shows).

So you use OpenJDK 8 in the config? Then see

But at this stage (oosplash) this shouldn't matter yet...
