As Wulfy said, it is likely that the Debian/Ubuntu packagers want to
encourage use of FOSS.

I fiddled with it a bit, but couldn't figure out an easy way to remove the
open jdk stuff and keep NetBeans.

I recommend you either live with it and make sure NetBeans is configured to
use the Sun jdk, or remove the packages and download the real NetBeans
directly.  It isn't hard to install if you follow the instructions.  Plus,
you can pick different package combinations.

And once you are on netbeans.org, you can look at plugins available, etc.
