I asked our current sponsors about OpenJDK 6 and none asked us to keep supporting it. They are satisfied with having only OpenJDK 7 supported in wheezy. > sense to only support openjdk-7 in Debian LTS.

Yes, we need to investigate that. I just stumbled on a few packages with "openjdk-6-jre | java6-runtime" in their dependencies (like "entagged" or "389-console"). A complete list should be made to see the impact and decide what should happen to those packages...
