We've run into something similar here. We needed Sun Java 1.4.2 to run on
amd64 machines, but Sun didn't provide amd64 builds before Java 5.
We hacked /usr/share/java-package/sun-j2re.sh to "detect" 32-bit Java builds
as usable for amd64, and installed the 32-bit compatibility libraries that
Java needed (so that dh_shlibdeps worked).
For the record, that's these ones:
$ aptitude install lib32gcc1 lib32asound2 and ia32libs
The attached patch adds a "Suggests:" line for those pacakges (probably not
the best way to handle it) and allows 32-bit Java builds to be built on
amd64.
