That's right. OpenJDK 12 isn't a LTS release and will be EOL in 2
months. The current consensus is to ship only LTS releases in stable
Debian releases (OpenJDK 11 for Buster, and probably OpenJDK 17 for
Bullseye).

At the package level you have to ensure "dpkg-buildpackage -B" doesn't
build libcoda-java, but only libcoda-jni and the other arch specific
packages. The arch all package will be built by an amd64 builder if you
do a source upload.
