Hi Samuel,

Thanks for the quick work on this! I have seen the changes in the git
repo [1] and will build the package to see if I can get it to work
with openjdk like it used to with older ext mechanism - for now all
module examples I have seem need to be directly loaded with -p as you
stated.

It is just a guess at this time, but we might need to patch openjdk to
load mods from other locations so debian packages can use that. I
report back after doing some testing.

I'm still working on the openjdk security updates, so might take a
while to get my hands down on this.

Regards,
Tiago
