That's bad. Anyway, I just filed the remaining RC bugs before seeing
your reply :-)

If openjdk-8 is going to stay, it would be great to get the current
version into buster s.t. buster does not have a version older than
stretch-proposed-updates, breaking piuparts upgrade tests (they fail
early due to an unexpected downgrade).

But if there is to be openjdk-8 in buster, I should consider dropping
the nvidia-openjdk-8-jre package again and just use openjdk-8-jre again
for buster.
(nvidia-openjdk-8-jre is yet another openjdk-8 copy, built from binaries
provided by nvidia (with their nvidia-cuda-toolkit), it is needed by
some binary-only eclipse components from their nvidia-cuda-toolkit ...
that only work with openjdk-8).
But we should discuss this elsewhere.
