It would be nice if all the similar packages had similar names, to make it obvious that they were alternatives. So if you want to rename them, how about either calling them sunjdk6 and sunjre6 or else renaming the open ones too to fit into the same scheme, e.g. java6-open-jdk? Although this has the down side that it no longer contains the phrase "openjdk" which is probably what some/most people search for. Just a thought. Pete.
i always hatted the debian naming scheme for java so -1 from me. but i'm not against to use upstream name.
