Scheduled now (it will take some time as it's 320 arch:any packages).

By the way there was a problem with my suggested jdk change: the architecture
restriction is applied first, and then the first alternative is taken, so for
e.g. m68k, openjdk-10-jdk is taken as it's the first valid alternative for that
architecture. But we don't want jdk there at all. So there are two good options:

default-jdk [!arm !hppa !kfreebsd-i386 !kfreebsd-amd64 !hurd-i386]

i.e. drop the openjdk-10-jdk alternative, or

default-jdk [!arm !hppa !kfreebsd-i386 !kfreebsd-amd64 !hurd-i386] |
openjdk-10-jdk [!arm !hppa !kfreebsd-i386 !kfreebsd-amd64 !hurd-i386]

i.e. add the architecture restriction to openjdk-10-jdk as well.

I'd go with the former, but both should work. If you can apply one of those
changes that'd help.

Sorry for not realising that earlier.

Cheers,
Emilio
