Looks like this tool is going away, it’s not in squeeze or sid anymore, but hey, I needed a newer JDK…

make-jpkg cannot create packages for Java 6 update 10 or newer, to fix this, edit /usr/share/java-package/sun-j2sdk.sh.

Add this stanza:

       "jdk-6u"[0-9][0-9]"-linux-x64.bin") # SUPPORTED
            j2se_version=1.6.0+update${archive_name:6:2}${revision}
            j2se_expected_min_size=130
            found=true
            ;;

right after

        "jdk-6u"[0-9]"-linux-x64.bin") # SUPPORTED
            j2se_version=1.6.0+update${archive_name:6:1}${revision}
            j2se_expected_min_size=130
            found=true
            ;;

Then try again, should be golden.
