Our 1.3 (which is similar to Sun's) and some additional packages are
available as deb packages from our mirrors:
http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux/mirrors.html
To use it with APT you have to add a line like
deb ftp://<mirror>/<path-to-java-directory>/debian <dist> non-free
to /etc/apt/sources.list
E.g. for the woody tree on ftp.tux.org one would use:
deb ftp://ftp.tux.org/java/debian woody non-free
