After some discussion on IRC, I think we've concluded that it's totally
OK to backport openjdk-7, since all of the packages have separate names
and can't conflict with old packages.

But I agree with Matthias that it's a good idea to hold off on the
backport until openjdk-7 is released, so let's re-examine this then.

Once the final release is available in oneiric, the easiest way to
accelerate the process is to test the backport yourself. Our
requirements are fairly straightforward: we require that the package
builds, installs, and starts on the release you're backporting it to.
The easiest way to test this is with the backportpackage script from
ubuntu-dev-tools.

  wishlist: openjdk-7 package for natty backports

Bug description:
  I would like to start using openjdk 7 via a repository asap (and not
  have to manually install the upstream release). Would it be possible
  to have the openjdk-7 packages from oneiric become available in natty-
  backports?
