Read the licence properly. They allow redistribution with a few terms, a number of which are problems, particularly the one about indemnification. Debian can't afford (and doesn't want to) indemnify Sun. Other problems include not allowing you to distribute alternatives to the java.* packages if you distribute the SDK, if I recall correctly.
I think the JRE is a bit more lenient, but I hardly ever use just a JRE, so I don't read the licence for that very often.
