Good question. I don't know the answer. Best to ask debian-java.
Depending specifically on sun-java5-jre precludes using any other Java
VM though. I would avoid it unless sun-java5-jre is really the only
Java VM that works with jedit.

Is it? My box still reports non-free.

$ apt-cache policy sun-java5-jre
sun-java5-jre:
 Installed: 1.5.0-10-1.1
 Candidate: 1.5.0-10-1.1
 Version table:
*** 1.5.0-10-1.1 0
