Yes, I can do that. So, if I understand correctly, Kotlin requires OpenJDK-8
to work?

as well.

The changes and buildinfo files didn't exist anymore for the powerpc, ppc64,
sparc64 and x32 binaries, so if a porter wants to restore those, please rebuild
them with manually installed openjdk-8 packages from snapshot.debian.org.
