Acually I have i386 system on first partition, and full mad64 on second
partition. 
I started up my computer on i386, and later I decided to generate java-package
for my amd64. I didn't want to reboot my computer just to generate those
package.
I have checked that java-package is theoreticaly architecture-independed (the
same package for all architecures) It seems that it is shell scrip. 
Sun's self-extracting tarball is shell script as well. 
I hoped that It is possible to generate jre package for amd64 on i386 system,
so next time i boot on amd64 I will have this pacakge ready-to-use.
It seems that make-jkpkg is just extracting tarball and  it is packing it back
to *.deb?

anyway - It's my fault, so please close this bug, or maybe there should be some
different error message saying: "Error: Downloaded java is for different
architecture" ?
