If I remember correctly, all the Java stuff is installed in one place (e.g. /usr/local/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04), so it is easy to maintain. You can however create a deb package from the JSDK or JRE, either be downloading the RPM and using alien, or by converting the installer:
<http://z42.de/debian/>
I did not have any luck with that package converter. I used alien on the RPM and installed Sun Java 1.5.0. I places it in /usr/java which is OK.
Attempting the run Java, I get that it cannot find the main objects.
I followed instructions with the "virtual packages" which set up pointers to Java and it man pages. Still cannot run it.
My log of installing Java is at:
