Thanks, Michael, for doing the investigative work!

At the moment it looks like there's nothing we can do for squeeze (as 
it's frozen), and there's nothing we need to do for wheezy (because 
sun-java6 isn't in wheezy).

For those who are still having this problem, there are various 
solutions:
- Symlink the java3d components into the sun-java6 installation (ugly 
solution perhaps but then it works everywhere)
- Patch the launch script yourself (or make a new one) to add the 
library path to the java command:
   java -Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/jni ...
- add Michael's line export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/jni either to the 
launch script or to a user-specific .bashrc
- apparently switching to openjdk6 also fixes the problem (according to 
the linked thread)

So I'm not sure if this bug should be closed or not, but it doesn't 
look like it can be fixed.
