I suggest you consider the output of
objdump -x /usr/lib/j2se/1.3/jre/lib/i386/classic/libjvm.so | grep NEED
and
objdump -x /bin/bash | grep NEED
and try to establish how you might keep two libc6 libraries on the
system simultaneously.

Juergen has pointed out to me that if I build the 1.4 .debs in a
stable chroot they would still run but would lose the annoying
dependecy on libc6 (>> 2.3.1). I keep meaning to get around to this.
That would not, however, prevent you from need to upgrade to j2se1.4
if you've already upgaded to libc6 2.3.1.
