I am fairly certain the problem is actually in openjdk-6-jre-headless
(6b18-1.8.7-5) package ...
Warning: last time I tried to troubleshoot piuparts problem, I was
"wrong in several ways". So, consider analysis below accordingly.
From eclipse-cdt log:

THIS IS THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM
************
update-binfmts: warning: Couldn't load the binfmt_misc module.
************
The last version of this package that was tested by piuparts was version
6b18-1.8.7-2. It passed. Now, the newer package is failing when it is
installed as dependency of newly-tested package(s), causing (misleading)
failure report. Yes; piuparts SHOULD be made smart enough to examine
version #; however, that's a somewhat low priority.
However, 6b18-1.8.7-5 is new in testing. Examining the diff
(openjdk-6_6b18-1.8.7-5.diff.gz from testing source packge) between the
1.8.7-2 and 1.8.7-5 shows that there are a significant # of changes
relating to update-binfmt.
Indeed, one of the additions is:
--------------------
openjdk-6-6b18-1.8.7/debian/JB-jre-headless.overrides.in
..
...
+# empty directory by intent
+@basename@-jre-headless binary: package-contains-empty-directory
usr/share/binfmts/
--------------------
We could probably verify this by scanning logs of recently-tested failed
packages vs. 'successful' ones with dependency of openjdk. However,
that requires access to piatti logs; IMHO, it's not worth effort to do
this via http, and I don't have other, better access.
It is poor timing, since Holger and others who may be able to help are
at Debconf.
