I installed JDK1.3 from:
ftp://ftp.progsoc.uts.edu.au/pub/linux/java/debian/dists/potato/non-free/binary-i386/

put the following line in your sources.list, and apt-get update; apt-get
install ...
deb ftp://ftp.progsoc.uts.edu.au/pub/linux/java potato non-free

I only downloaded it myself a few days ago, and I haven't had time yet
to play with it, so I don't know for certain if it works... but it is
built for potato, so I don't see why it wouldn't work.
