They are already available.

greg@princess:~$ dpkg -l | grep sun-java | cut -f3 -d\  | xargs
sun-java5-bin sun-java5-demo sun-java5-fonts sun-java5-jdk sun-java5-jre
sun-java5-plugin sun-java5-source

You real answer would be:

        aptitude install sun-java5-jre sun-java5-plugin

That will take care of the issue.
