What is the advantage of doing this over just installing the .bin?

The http://z42.de/debian/ site provides you a package that "transform"
Sun JRE/JDK bin files into a debian package. 
You need to download the bin file from Sun's site, install the z42
package (j2se-package), create a deb from bin file (see man pages,
really easy) and then install the newly created deb (depends on
java-common only, I think).
You can then install the debian extras package from z42 (ex:
sun-j2sdk1.4debian) if you want.
