Please note that there are already .debs for J2SE and optional packages,
see the debian directory on our mirrors and use an apt line like:

deb ftp://ftp.tux.org/java/debian woody non-free

I've asked Stephen Zander to take over maintainership of these
packages as I am no official debian developer.  Stephen also is on the
Blackdown team (ie. he has signed an NDA-like sublicense).

Technically the packages go into Debian non-free now but I'll wait
till we've worked out an amendment to the license with Sun which
explicitly states the legality of this.
