For me, I would be pleased, if we drop java completly .. :) It is
non-free, and non-free sucks :)

But, I think, you are right, if some has java installed on his system,
we should detect it and enable or asking, whether to enable java or not.

Chris/Peter ... this could be realized with debconf, I think!
