I see at

JRE vers. 5.0 update 10

I must confess I am unfamiliar with installations of
the latter type of file.

Use the deb java-package to install that .bin version.


Maybe I am mistaken but isn't Sun Java in non-free?  I find

Package sun-java5-bin

    * testing (libs): Sun Java(TM) Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0
      [non-free]
      1.5.0-10-1.1: amd64 i386

As long as you are running i386 or amd64.
