OK, since the last one was impracticable:

Revert default-jdk to 8 until these all are fixed.
(Since the internal APIs are, well, internal, they
all ought to be fixed by their respective upstreams
*anyway* AIUI.)

Or, perhaps better: Use --release, and for those
packages that fail with it, use an explicit B-D
on openjdk-8-jdk instead of default-jdk until that
individual package is fixed. But keep the default
at newer JDK plus --release to ensure the amount
of to-be-fixed packages does not grow in the meantime.
