Good. Thanks for the review.

Perhaps we can do better for JDK8.
The short version of the story is that Release Engineering requested
this fix so they could run the product and debug builds in parallel
rather than sequentially. The legacy bundle creating code in the closed
install tree assumed that both product and debug builds had been done on
the same system, and that all bits were available to create bundles at
the end. We had to restructure that logic, and the change in OpenJDK
Makefiles was an unfortunate side effect.
