Great work there!  I would still love to see openjdk-8 in bookworm.  We're going 
to loose a bunch of Android things because doclava cannot run newer JDKs. 
Upstream still uses JDK8 to build it in the current Android code.

I think we have a clear case for the security team, since not only has upstream 
pledged support for the entire time window we need, but multiple distros as well.

Thanks for keeping this moving, it is the best news I've heard in a while.  I'm 
not sure how I can best support this effort, but please ping me if you need me 
to jump in anywhere.
