I got a quick look at these new versions released this week, IcedTea Web
1.7.2 is rather close to the version in unstable since October and has a
few extra Java 9+ fixes, it's probably worth considering for Buster. The
version 1.8 doesn't seem to improve the Java 9+ compatibility and the
new Rust based launcher looks like a big change I'd rather see in
Bullseye. The upcoming version 1.9 looks interesting since it removes
the applet code that is causing the FTBFS with Java 11 we are discussing
here, but that will be too late for Buster.
