@Jamie Strandboge: thanks for responding!

Unfortunately I don't have the skills for building packages. All I could
do was publish an instruction for manual installation of the latest JRE
(available on the Sun website), in English and in Dutch:

English:
http://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/java

Dutch:
http://sites.google.com/site/computertip/java

I know about the formal policy for JRE, as we discussed a previous
security update for JRE, in earlier Launchpad thread. But if there are
no people around who can help implement this formal policy, then the
policy is useless....

I fully understand that you are all very busy and even overloaded with
work. And I appreciate your efforts very much.

However, if there isn't enough manpower available for implementing the
formal policy for JRE, then please drop JRE altogether and remove it
entirely from the repositories. Better no JRE at all, than an insecure
JRE....
