I've found https://github.com/flexiondotorg/oab-java6 https://github.com/flexiondotorg/oab-java6 really useful. It's a shell script that downloads the Java binaries from Oracle, builds Debian packages for them, stashes them at /var/local/oab/deb, and adds this directory as a local apt repo for your system. The net effect is 'apt-get install sun-java6-jre' works again like it used to.
