Situation on Hardy Heron is not much better. After standard installation, one 
has to install:
1) eclipse
2) sun-java6 (and friends)
But this lead to a configuration on your system that is polluted with gij and 
gic settings.

One has to manually set:
a) alternatives to sun-java6
b) edit eclipse configuration to use sun-java6
c) edit openoffice configuration to use sun-java6, because it cannot find JRE 
of sun-java6

Then, still gij, gic and friends are disrupting the party. Deinstalling
with dpkg -P of gij, gic and depending friends will sort that out (check
that /etc/java is gone and only /etc/java-6-sun is there).

Now your system is properly configured to use sun-java6 automatically in
all places.

All this should be managed from one central point and the system admin
should be asked which JRE to use each time a JRE is being installed or
uninstalled via package manager, subsequently leading to correct
configurations as is described above in the case of sun-java6.
