Sun's JDK binaries also includes the dependencies needed, and we'd need a package for each architecture, but I'm all for the idea. I'm assuming that it would install it somewhere like /opt, then the dependencies would be in a separate prefix there too. The only problem then is, say because your on Hardy, you'd possibly have two different GTK versions and it may get hard to maintain efficiently, unless the install script detected the distro, and automatically satisfied the dependencies, but then you might as well make a load of .debs.
