[Bug 1651509] [NEW] Please remove sun-javadb from Ubuntu

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Jeremy Bicha (jbicha):

sun-javadb was uploaded by a Sun developer in 2008 and hasn't been
touched since.

Oracle claims that JavaDB is Oracle's supported version of Apache Derby and includes the "same binaries" whatever that means.

In 2013, derby was packaged for Debian.

Currently, derby and sun-javadb are not co-installable (LP: #1276353) so
let's drop the unmaintained Ubuntu-specific multiverse package and use
the Debian-maintained derby instead.
