I see only two ways of fixing proprietary Java (apart from fixing it upstream or ignoring the problem): * wrap java and java_vm binaries in some scripts setting LD_PRELOAD (in Debian package) or * allow sun-java6-* packages to override bindv6only sysctl. I can't say I like any of these approaches (although I currently do the first on my systems). I hope Oracle will eventually fix the bug in Java allowing the change in (some) stable Debian release (or OpenJDK will replace Sun's Java completely).
