OK, I didn't know about that. I that case I suggest removing
debian/control from the repository after that step is documented. I've
rebased my master branch on your repository and added a patch to that

Good point. I'll keep the jdk8u20-b18 branch around and might
occasionally rebase it to keep track of master changes. ;-)
