(I'm assuming you're referring to bug report on IcedTea here.)
Is that surprising at all? According to popcon [1,2], IcedTea is
installed 1 tenth time wrt the number of sun-java6 plugin installations
(which is probably an underestimation, given that the sun-java6 plugin
package was just a meta package).
How about making an announcement (Debian News, d-d-a) that explains how
to switch to IcedTea and that you are looking for testers?
Cheers.
