if you want a precompiled deb you have to add this lines to
/etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://mirrors.publicshout.org/java-linux/debian/ testing non-free
deb ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/java/debian/ testing non-free
or search the string "blackdown java" with google to search the mirror
closest to you.
then you can find packages named j2sdk1.x and j2re1.x searching with"
apt-cache search j2".
Otherway you can download a .bin package from sun's site and install
the java-package with apt-get / synaptic and then transform the
java.bin package in a .deb package.
make-jpkg j2.xxx.bin
dpkg -i j2.xxx.deb
