mpkg-j2se will never enter Testing because of the RC bug filed against it.

On another note, is it possible we could see the 
${vendor}-j2{re,sdk}${version}debian packages included in Debian? Their 
Debian integration features are the main reason I use 
j2se-package/java-package. Perhaps we could even have these features 
rolled into the generated ${vendor}-j2{re,sdk}${version} packages?

Finally, the entry to add to /usr/share/java-package/sun-j2sdk.sh to 
make java-package work with the 1.5+rc SDK is:

    "jdk-1_5_0-rc-linux-i586.bin")
        j2se_version=1.5.0+rc1
        j2se_expected_min_size=135 # 138272 kB
        found=true
        ;;

Anyone know how big the 1.5+rc RE is, so an entry can be added for it as 
well?
