That's right. A while ago, there were some efforts trying to package the jdk into deb files for a debian savvy installation and all the benefits associated with such a release. However, due to major compatibility issues with the mozilla plugin api at that time, this work was pushed back to a later time (this is at least the impression I got.) Mozilla apis have had the nasty habit of breaking plugin code from one release to another which would have been a real pain as debian offers multiple releases of mozilla according to the release you are running. As it appears that the mozilla plugin api were frozen in the latest public release (of course no guarantee before 1.0), now is the the perfect time to resume this work, I suppose. I've packaged and tested the latest upgrade for ppc (1.3.1_02b) on the blackdown server. The release is not official yet (any time now), but if the debian maintainer wants to contact me and work on this, that would be great. Thanks! LdS
