    So what is the sun-java5-jre package then?

    Is this not a Java Runtime Environment?

    Huh?

    What are these options then?

    http://packages.debian.org/lenny/sun-java6-jre
    http://packages.debian.org/lenny/sun-java5-jre
    http://packages.debian.org/lenny/default-jre (for amd64)

    Just make available non-free in your /etc/apt/sources.list
