As mentioned above, we rely on backports for the JRE, so while we could simply disable the jessie-backport repository that would leave us with some packages that are installed on the system but can't be updated, a situation that I would not be particularly comfortable with.
Ah, so the problem isn't that Jessie has been moved to archive.debian.org, it is that the jessie-backports repo has been moved / EOLd.
I'm fine with dropping Jessie given that we'll be dropping it in a couple of months anyway.
Alright, I'll cook some patches then :)
We should spin up Buster to replace it too
We've ever introduced support for unreleased operating systems in our CI environment[1], and I'm not sure it would be a good idea to start now... It seems to me like it would be pretty misleading.
I think the fact that we've not done it in the past is a bug really, not really a good thing. Unless we have capacity problems, I don't see a good reason to avoid it, given that we already run the more flakey rawhide/sid distros.
Personally I'd just live with running tests on single Debian release until Buster is actually out.
[1] Fedora Rawhide, Debian sid and FreeBSD -CURRENT don't count since they're unreleased by definition :)
