Debian "sid" or "unstable" (https://httpredir.debian.org/debian) that we use for debootstrapping RISC-V breaks very often. Currently, the GHA linux-cross-build for RISC-V would not continue and is simply skipped when this debootstrap for "sid" repos fails. (See [JDK-8326960](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8326960) for more details). This is affecting GHA linux-cross-build for RISC-V for quite some time. As a result, we failed to catch some early build issues.
But I don't think we need to catch up with the latest Debian "unstable" for our GHA verification purpose. So one way would be using some older but working Debian shapshot [1] [2] for our purpose. I find the most recent usable shapshot is https://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20240228T034848Z/. We can switch back to more stable Debian repo once it graduates.
