I don't believe there are any differences between the Blackdown
packages & the Sun codebase; 1.4.0.99 is Sun's 1.4.1 beta. I'm sure
Juergen will correct me if I'm wrong.

Certain legal technicalities interfere with the inclusion of the j2se
packages by "Debian the organisation" on their mirrors. The j2se
packages will never be in "Debian the distribution" as their licence
violates the DFSG <URL:http://www.debian.org/social_contract.html>
