I just checked and `openjdk-15-jdk` `openjdk-16-jdk` are only on sid/unstable - which `openjdk-17-jdk` is only on testing. So yeah, the only alternative is mixing version which is playing with fire. These seems like pretty basic distro problems, no? Since no one seems bothered I figured I was missing some obvious solution.

The bullseye-backports repo is just being started, so these packages will most likely be available there sometime in the future.

Testing is (almost) Stable right now. They included a JDK17 pre-release so an upgrade though backports in a month will be easier than. (It's in the release notes linked here). Same reason why v15 and v16 are only in Unstable right now: They where not meant to be released for Debian 11, so removed from Testing. Usually Testing and Unstable are mostly in sync. Besides the packages in Unstable that are causing serous trouble of course. But right now Testing is mostly identical to the (still next) Stable Debian 11. So it makes no sense judging availability of packages in Testing right now until the release is out.
