The excuses section says why, in summary it fails to build on some
architectures where it used to build and it introduces 3
release-critical bugs.

Reading through the bugs, it seems maintainers are waiting on the
OpenJDK 11 transition:

Add unstable to your sources.list and some apt pinning to keep
everything at the testing version except the things you have from
unstable. The best practices for testing users also recommend adding
experimental to the mix in case you want packages from there and also
automatically pinning security updates from unstable:
