Sorry, upon rereading your original post I realised that you are using the 
tarball from sun. The Debian alternatives system will only work if you use 
the blackdown .debs.  You can add one of these to /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://www.tux.org/pub/java/debian sid main non-free
or
deb http://www.tux.org/pub/java/debian woody main non-free

There are probably other mirrors closer to you:
