Apologies, I was up at 5am with my 2yr old yesterday and by the time I got to 
read my mail late last night my brain was a bit stale.

It might matter if next time you upgrade, your java vm has changed location. 
By using an absolute path in konqui you are bypassing the debian alternatives 
system. The default path of "java" that the debian kde packages ship with 
works fine. This is not the source of your problem, I was just trying to be 
informative :-)

Did you check the other java related symlinks in /etc/alternatives? I vaguely 
recall having problems with java a few months ago. I think at the time there 
were only java packages available for woody, then packages became available 
for sid but when I upgraded lots of stuff had moved around and the install 
script failed to update some of the symlinks in /etc/alternatives. I had to 
edit a lot of those symlinks to get things working again, mc is a godsend for 
this sort of stuff.  Also, when you had the sun tarball installed previously 
did you or the install script create any symlinks outside of /usr/local?  Did 
you clean up before installing the blackdown .debs?
