The packages are now accepted and the 8u212-b03 upstream version is now uploaded 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.
