I've reviewed the use of the java.vendor property in Debian and the
occurrences I've found are either not used (in disabled tests for
example), without consequences (checking the IBM JVM only) or already
broken (still checking "Sun" instead of "Oracle", such as
apache-directory-server).
It still has the potential to break applications outside of the set of
packages we ship in Buster, but considering the insane amount of
breaking changes between OpenJDK 8 and OpenJDK 11 that's really a minor
detail, and developers are certainly ready to cope with that.
