What's funny is that with the .deb JRE 1.4.0 package I installed (1.4.0.99beta-1), mozilla wouldn't even load the plug-in. I'm using mozilla from unstable--maybe it has been taught not to try loading an incompatible version? Very frustrating that there's no diagnostic, though. > Also, if you download the "source package" for the debian j2re1.4 you in > fact find a binary blackdown tarball with a few debian-specific files > added.

Ok, that makes it clear. > So I'd say it's a pretty sure bet that manually downloading a -gcc3.2 > java runtime from blackdown won't be a waste of time. It wasn't. I filed bug 199090 about the wrong documentation in the mozilla-browser package. I also emailed the blackdown guys about how misleading it is to put a gcc 2.95 package in the Debian unstable archive.
