Silvio, just want to mention that "u40" versions are unstable. It should
be released in march 2015. Current stable (GA) version is u20, it was
released in August.

Here's OpenJDK timeline for both branches:
http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk8u/releases/8u20.html
http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk8u/releases/8u40.html

I'm really worried that Utopic use an unstable version:
"https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/utopic/+package/openjdk-8-jdk"; is
"8u40~b04-2" instead of "8u20~b26"

"performs as expected"
Are you an OpenJDK developer? (you're not on http://openjdk.java.net/census)
Do you have any formal tests, which show that "GA - March 2015" is a mistake ?

Title:
  Openjdk-8-jdk is a debug build

Status in “openjdk-8” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The current openjdk-8-jdk package  for Ubuntu 14.10 installs a version
  of java that reports "openjdk version 1.8.0_01-internal-fastdebug" as
  its version. This is a debug build that works painfully slow. Using it
  to run Eclipse and do stuff like building projects or even open source
  everything takes about five times as long as when using openjdk-7-jdk.

  This package should not contain a debug build, if at all a debug
  version should be in a separate package.

  Expected: getting a normal production build to run Java programs for
  normal use.

  Instead: II got a debug build that runs Java programs painfully slow
  (and probably with a lot of memory overhead although I did not check
  that).
