Matthias has restarted the packaging from the latest version of
openjdk-7 and merged some of my changes. The repository is on Launchpad:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~openjdk/openjdk/openjdk8/files
Now if I could be added to the OpenJDK Team I'd be happy to continue on
this repository, but it's up to Matthias to decide.
