Maybe a very stupid solution would be to have default-jdk be available
on all architectures, but just not pull in anything? IIUC that would
lead to build failures (because code that really needs the jdk will
FTBFS) but it avoids busywork for maintainers that are not involved in
bootstrapping java. Machine time is cheap, volunteer time is not.

Just my 2 cents.
