As Phil said: this was discussed some time ago before you joined :-) I made packages for jre and jdk 5 and 6 with GAR and put them in testing/. As of today we are not allowed to distribute them due to licensing restrictions. I am still in contact with Sun about this. As workaround they offered we could distribute OpenJDK instead, not really a replacement. Feel free to test the packages in testing/, but don't depend on them in official packages.
