At least the dependency says so (no help for buildds). kFreeBSD does
have an (outdated) openjdk-7 available (and I've seen patches for the
current version quite recently afair). I have no idea how far this
already works without further patches (and no immediate plan to
test). Once we have it bootstrapped the autobuilders should be able to
continue building

Might be something kFreeBSD people are interested in talking about
during DebConf. If we want to get back into stretch we'll need java for
