Wim,
I needed to install latest SUN on Debian Sarge machine in one of our lab
and I did some research on the topic. Below is quick summary of what I
found.
1) Installing Java in Woody 2R.
http://www.debian.org.hk/en/node/view/1833 This site describes a method of
installing java by creating java deb packages from sun linux tgz file.
The method should work on Woody, Testing and unstable version of
Debian/GNU Linux. Please note if you have kaffe installed, you need to
uninstall it first. Then, install java as instructed.
Kaffe has higher degree of preference in "update-alternatives system". If
you leave kaffe, it will stay as preferred java on your machine. You can
change java preference manually using "update-alternative" command.
2) This is how java is installed in Open Source Lab.

Hope it helps.
If you find a better way, please let me know.
