Does this not come under the terms of Sun Licensing? Is anyone else allowed
to package the SDK?

AFAIK there's no debian-package of the official Sun J2EE/J2SE, but that
doesn't mean you can't install the rpm or the tar.gz package.

I recall Sun once using the Blackdown-version for distribution as their
Linux-version of the JDK...

See above.

Which is ridiculous because the officially provided package from Sun
installs fine on a Debian machine. And IMHO the Blackdown JDK is a
better choice. It tends to get a bit more testing (on more platforms) and
some bugfixes found after a release from Sun is already made.
