Mario,
    Checking on my i386 server which has java-package 0.24 and a
j2sdk1.5-sun installation generated by it, i find the following:

$ dpkg -l java-package
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err:
uppercase=bad)
||/ Name           Version        Description
+++-==============-==============-============================================
ii  java-package   0.24           utility for building Java(TM) 2

$ ls -l /etc/alternatives | grep j2sdk1.5-sun/jre

    It (java-package) went into Sarge just yesterday; could you confirm
that you indeed have 0.24 installed, have re-generated your sun-j2sdk1.5
.debs and installed them over your previous ones?  Both Jeroen and I
have checked the source code and our own installations and found the
above information I have provided.
