I realise I made a mistake, I should have filed against version 6-00-2, because that's been completed by buildd n weeks ago and your explanation would be irrelevant.
sun-java6-jre_6-00-2 was perfectly installable before the incomplete upgrade of 6-01-1. Now that the upgrade to 6-01-1 has only been uploaded into unstable incompletely, both the old and the new versions are broken. One can neither install 6-00-2 because deps are missing nore 6-01-1 because deps are missing. D'oh. I know "its only unstable" and such and one could get stuff from testing or experimental. However, in this case the new version isn't even in experimental. Same problem applies to sun-java5 and the new java-package simply sucks. Therefore at the moment there's no sane way to get java5/6 to work in amd64 unstable at all, and all that's caused by some rushed uploads. You should have a look at popcon, you might find that unstable actually is the version of debian used most often. Careless uploads like these do break packages in unstable all the time. What makes it annoying is that these kinds of breakages are easily preventable e.g. by delaying uploads and letting the stuff stay in experimental or incoming or wherever until all the binaries of one given source package have finished building.
