Thank you for the bug report.

I just uploaded a new upstream version, 11.0.9+1, which will prevent
users from having to downgrade.  I feel like this was warranted given
the CVEs addressed in JDK 11.0.9.  However, there is a more general
issue of dependency version testing (and maybe pinning).  At a minimum,
we can add an autopkgtest to instantiate a JVM with the -dcevm option.

Cheers,
