*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

Java 5.0 will be placed into "End of Service Life" by Sun on October
30th 2009. This means no more security updates will be produced for it
after that date. The sun-java5 package needs to be removed from the
archive, as it will be unmaintainable after that date and security
issues may appear that will be unfixable.

See:
http://www.j2ee.me/products/archive/eol.policy.html

** Affects: sun-java5 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** This bug has been flagged as a security vulnerability
