Re: sun-java6-jre

[Dean Hamstead <dean@fragfest.com.au>]

from past experience, one needs to use make-jpkg to make a debian 
package from one of the various java packages available

this may not be the case anymore (as i believe juns java is now 
gpl/lgpl?) anyway i have only used ibm's jdk on ppc (with debian, ive 
used juns jdk on windows more than i would like to talk about)

here is a nice article that may help you

http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/142

if not, hopefully someone who is has more amd64-java specific know
how can help.
