I just updated a Sid box from about 6 months ago that's never had Java 
on it.

After the update, I went to www.blackdown.org and downloaded the JDK for 
gcc3.x, ran it in a tmp directory to unzip it, moved the resulting 
directory to /usr/local, and made a symlink from 
/usr/local/j2.....plugins..java...so to /usr/lib/mozilla/...plugins and 
restarted Moz, and bang, all's good.
