Bill, we're trying to fix/work around a jessie to stretch upgrade path issue for the default desktop setup. And we're days away from the tentative date for the release. Needless to say, trying to fix this upgrade path is somewhat more important than what happens for stretch to buster, for which years still have to pass. Plenty of time to figure out what to do. Of course it would be better if ca-certificates-java wouldn't have been “fixed” on 2017-05-31 when openjdk-7 was removed on 2016-04-22. But that's the situation we have to deal with right now. KiBi.
