We already have two OpenJDK version (17 and 21) in bookworm. Everything should be fine if: - default-jre* is always the first alternative in the dependencies, and - everything requiring > 8 depends on a java*-runtime* >= java9-runtime* I'm not expecting these things to be 100% bug-free, but such things would already blow up today when someone still has a JRE from an older release installed (e.g. I was for some time using the security-supported openjdk-8/stretch on buster for a usecase where OpenJDK 11 did not work). > Andreas cu Adrian
