Work on the transition in Ubuntu is underway. I have successfully rebuilt/tested/fixed all ~100 packages in Ubuntu main and I'll be running a rebuild test of the remaining ~800 packages in Ubuntu universe over the next few days to re-assess the list of FTBFS we generated last Ubuntu release. The Ubuntu Security team discussed supporting OpenJDK6 for the duration of Ubuntu 12.04 (the next 5 years) at UDS-Q as we did not complete the transition during the 12.04 cycle. The current thinking is that we will endeavour to form a cross distro team to fix any critical issues in openjdk-6 over the next few years - we believe the Redhat/Fedora will have similar challenges with the releases they need to support as well. See https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/security-q-openjdk for more details - Steve Beattie (cc'ed for information) from the Ubuntu security team is coordinating this work.
