If so, it'd be useful to have java-virtual-machine packages to set their jdk-compliance versions (1.0, 1.1, 1.2) when installing (or being set by update-alternatives), since it's better to bind some packages on virtual machines of specific versions.

I agree with this concept as well.

also. can we make it "jvm", instead of "java-virtual-machine"?

jvm-sun-1.1
jvm-sun-1.2
jvm-iso-?

It would probably be prudent to eliminate the word "java" from every
Debian package name, description, etc. since it is a trademark first and
a language second.
