    The fact that this error showed up between 2.2.0+dfsg-4 and
    2.2.0+dfsg-7 suggests that it may be possible to do without this Java
    code. However, if it really is necessary nowadays, please version the
    build dependency on default-jdk to (>= 2:1.8~), noting the epoch.
    Yes, it would seem possible to tweak the build rules in this case given
    that the underlying
    version used to build.

    We need to port openjdk but that's a significant amount of work and
    time.  We need a
    volunteer!
