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 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).
