we intend to release with OpenJDK 11 for Debian 10, "Buster". OpenJFX 11
is on our todo list. I'm aware of the current situation with PDFsam and
I agree a dependency on openjdk-8-jre + openjfx would make it more
obvious for users at the moment. However we won't release PDFsam with a
dependency on OpenJDK 8 anyway because security support will end way
before Buster is EOL and I don't want to give a false impression of the
current state of our PDFsam package. Unstable users should be able to
handle the situation.

Regards,

Markus
