Hello,

Thanks for the report. In the future you can use the "reportbug" tool
from the command line. It will send a copy of the report to the debian
bug tracking system so we can keep track of the bugs and responses
there.

This is a known bug in sun-java. sun-java violates debian java policy
[1] by not looking at /usr/lib/jni [2]. This bug has been labelled
"won't fix" since we can't modify the binaries. This bug is fixed in
open-jdk [3]. As a work around, arduino sets the LD_LIBRARY_PATH in
versions 0021+dfsg-2 (experimental) and greater. Please use either the
arduino package from experimental or default-jvm (open-jdk6).
