Hi Sebastian,
Java5 is non-free in Lenny http://packages.debian.org/lenny/sun-java5-jre
Java5 is still, IMHO, widely used in production installations today
and probably will be for several more years inspite of its end of life.

I hope the attached simple dpatch file will change your mind :-)
As I learned this weekend, the JRuby build process defaults to generate
class files in the 1.5 format (even with a 1.6 JDK as on Squeeze) when
using javac. However, this default is not being passed in build.xml
to the org.jruby.anno.InvokerGenerator (see org.jruby.RubyInstanceConfig)
which defaults to the current JRE version instead.
As a result we are ending up with version 1.5 class files generated by
the (v1.6) javac and 1.6 class files for ASM generated classes during
the build by InvokerGenerator.
I believe this bug should be reported upstream. The upstream binary
works with JDK 1.5 so I can only assume they are building with a 1.5
JDK. I'd be happy to report upstream if you prefer that (I am a casual
user with practically zero JRuby experience, hence the reluctance to
start there).
I certainly am hoping you will reconsider the wontfix/wishlist position
so users like me, whose business environment often insists on a 1.5 JDK,
won't have to use a home grown JRuby package/upstream tarball ;-)
Cheers!
