You should go to <http://z42.de/debian/>. Get j2se-package, convert your JRE to a deb, download the matching *debian-deb for your Java version, and install both the downloaded package and the converted JRE. The package management will take care of the symlinks in /etc/alternatives and even install symlinks to make the Java plugin work with Mozilla, Netscape and Firefox. You should probably deinstall the gjc packages first.
Bah. You can't be serious. Why would anyone be expected to go through this procedure just to install Java? Why not just unpack the sun.com archive in /usr/local/ and export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java and PATH=$PATH:${JAVA_HOME}/bin?

This is what I did. I extracted the version of the Java in /usr/local/java. Then made links
/usr/local/j2sdk -> /usr/local/java/java-version-dir
and put export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/j2sdk/bin export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/j2sdk
in /etc/profile
So, to install new version I just extract in /usr/local/java and change the symlink /usr/local/j2sdk and all is fine and rosy.
Works pretty nicely.
