/What was Your solution? I want to know.

sorry, if that was not clear enough from context:

I searched for a backport of sun java for Sarge (as the program
my children want to run was not happy with the free alternatives)
and installed that with dpkg:

dpkg -i sun-java5-bin_1.5.0-10-1~bpo.1_i386.deb

Depending the software already installed you might need to do (as root)

update-alternatives --config java
