Sun Java on Debian/Ubuntu

It would appear that even if you install ONLY the sun java package it
drags in some GNU java stuff as well.
You can go through everything in /etc/alternatives and update it
manually but that is somewhat time consuming.
Instead just run:
sudo /usr/sbin/update-java-alternatives --set java-1.5.0-sun
and this will sort everything :)
