All I've done is "sudo apt-get install java-package" which enables you 
to build a deb for a java jre using a file downloaded from the issuer. 
Then I downloaded the latest jre .bin file from Sun and ran "make-jpg" 
against it which produced "sun-j2re1.5_1.5.0+update05_i386.deb". I 
installed this with "sudo dpkg -i packaname.deb". Everything works OK 
here and ./java -version yields

java version "1.5.0_05"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_05-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_05-b05, mixed mode, sharing)
