Ubuntu is regularly synchronizing against Debian… So, it should come sooner or later.

Thx for bringing java-package back!
Btw… i update the sun-java6 package regularly to make it work with the newest java 6 version.

Not only corporations, also everyone wanting to use applets basically needs Oracle’s Java build, as the free plugin basically does not work with many sites.

Julian: apt-get install icedtea-web

This is… well, not great, but useful. Not great because, in my heart, I’m fully behind throwing it out. Useful because, to update mksh in Android AOSP, I need to be able to build and test-boot it – and Google is still depending on Sun J2SDK 6 for that.
I tried lenny’s package, but first had to patch it to accept two-digit patchlevels and amd64 packages, and THEN ran into the problem that update-java-alternatives didn’t like the result. At all. If this tool version does it better, I’m bought.
Merci!

the sun-java6 package seems also to be updated/available here :
