Hmm, even after selecting the sun jvm as as default, netbeans shows:

Product Version: NetBeans IDE 6.1 (Build 080905)
Java: 1.6.0_0; OpenJDK Client VM 1.6.0_0-b12
System: Linux version 2.6.27-7-generic running on i386; UTF-8; en_US (nb)
Userdir: /home/thufir/.netbeans/6.1


Of course, I selected the sun JVM and the JDK wasn't listed given that 
it's installed:

thufir at arrakis:~$ sudo aptitude search sun-java6-jdk
i   sun-java6-jdk                                       - Sun Java(TM) 
Development Kit (JDK) 6
