Hi,

This is not a "important" bug.
You can check this: http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#severities

This bug probably has "minor" or "wishlist" severity.

Maybe you can install openjdk-6-jre and set your java alternatives as
you prefer (see manpage update-java-alternatives(8)). Or maybe you
can use environment variable JAVA_HOME to point to your preferred
Java installation. Or rebuild this package with your preferred JRE
included in its dependencies.

I'm not closing this bug report but I'm downgrading its severity.

Regards,

PD: also due to license issues, if this package depends on sun-java5-jre,
then it can not be in Debian main so it would not be available to many
Debian users who don't include contrib and non-free in /etc/apt/sources.list.
