Hi Rene,

we are mainly concerned about runtime issues with OpenJDK 7. Libreoffice
declares dependencies on default-jre | openjdk-7-jre, so I believe it
should be fine. I am aware of build failures with OpenJDK 7 and I think
that can't be avoided unless we want to redo the whole OpenJDK 7
transition. [1]

I think in those cases it is reasonable to recommend to manually change
build dependencies back to OpenJDK 6 because rebuilding a package does
not pose a security risk and should never happen on production systems
anyway. I will update https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/Wheezy and add an
example today.

Regards,

Markus
