That's good to know, thanks for pointing it out.

Well, the question is whether a new upstream version becomes
available in time. The current version does simply not work
at all with OpenJDK11. Given that we need a new upstream release,
which I expect to introduce significant changes, we may run
into trouble with qualifying for a "soft-freeze" update. It
seems safer to upload (and test, i.e., have it migrated to testing),
way before Feb 12 2019.

I just looked at the code, and it doesn't look like it is
possible to build it without OpenJDK-8 at all. There are files
unconditionally built that #include <jni.h>.

You might be suggesting to use OpenJDK-8 to build, but "simply"
not ship the libbluray-bdj package. That would effectively
drop support for BD menus from Debian, which is why I wouldn't
consider this as a viable plan B.
