Does anyone know what the plan is for openjdk-8 in buster? If it
isn't going to go away, the easiest thing may be to depend on it
instead of default-jdk.
It look like after many years now, no one has tried to put together a
kotlin compiler package, so supporting lwjgl3 seems very unlikely.
Best wishes,
