Thanks for the update regarding the news about Sun Java 5 in non-free.
We have always had access to the Sun Java 5 JDK via java-package, but its
presence in non-free does not mean we would knock tomcat5 out of main in
order to quickly bump up the version in our Tomcat packaging.  See section
2.12 of Debian Policy[0] for more information.
