 be added to the pinning configuration too.

 Maybe the pinning configuration was wrong. But hard to say without seeing
 the actual configuration that was used, and how the openjdk package was
 installed.

 If pinning is too complicate, an other option is to download and install
 the openjdk packages without using apt. In any case, adding the testing
 repository without pinning is not an option, as that just means we're
 using Debian testing and not buster.

 the pre script in the debootstrap config for the android specific build,
 how is the # Bug 29158 going to be handled? Is this related to stretch or
 to the ubuntu version? Can it be removed now?

 buster was released after `DSA 4371-1`, so it is not affected by this
 issue.
