I don't think that's quite right.  I think the recent news involved
Ubuntu packaging more of the stack, but Sun's standard proprietary JRE
(http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/libs/sun-java5-jre) is in Dapper.

No, I think their current binary OS distribution agreement is pretty
broad.  Anyway, all this should be history by June when the rest of the
code is supposed to go GPL. :)
