It's quicker to use java-package-- just download the RPM or .bin, run
'make-jpkg /path/to/j2sdk.bin', and voila, you get a .deb
Well if for package like Java JDK or JRE I can say make-jpkg is fine.
One time I try to roll out a Legato Backup rpm to Debian package it
turn out to be broken, the deb package doesn't install well.
