Sorry, I can't help, I never did it myself. I admit I have IBM JDK in
/usr/local but it's not really well integrated in my system.

It's the magic of Debian: if you want it do it ;-) By the way, I'm very
busy in my day job at the moment and I'll be more busy until mi-february
where I hope it'll be cooler, then I'll help on setting up the developer
rooms with Pascal Bleser at the FOSDEM (http://fosdem.org) (I also have
a real life! ;-) I just found a new house, well, doesn't matter)
I just want you to know, that I don't have all the time I'd like working
for Debian. So I prefer to give all my energy in packaging new gjdoc,
new kaffe and try to run my projects and my packages with free tools.
If a bug report is filed and a good patch is attached, I can apply it,
test it and upload the package, but I'll not give the little free time I
have on this package.
Cheers,
