Hi, I would add a NEWS file to OpenJDK 8 and explain the situation and in addition create a wrapper around the OpenJDK 8 java command that prints out a message and quits. javac shall continue to work because it is needed to build some packages. The debconf approach could also work but it is a bit more work to implement. Then we also announce it via release news. Just some thoughts. Best, Markus
