Yes. That is, there's a more up to date jdk package (with a different
and to my way of thinking better organization) in hamm, and last I
checked Sun wasn't releasing any java stuff for linux - the linux-java
things are ported from the Sun reference implementation. This means
there is always a delay beyond the normal packaging delay as a new
release is first ported to Linux, and then packaged for Debian.
By the way, the hamm jdk package installs and runs just fine on my
all-libc5 (bo) system.
