People do want to see an update of the sun-java5 packages for dapper, however
due to the nature of binary-only packages we don't know much about the update
and where it belongs to:

 - it fixes security issues, so it should probably a candidate for -security

 - it fixes other bugs, so it is not appropriate for -security, but maybe
   should go to -proposed and then to -updates.

 - it introduces new features, so it should go to -backports, but there it's
   not picked up by many people.

Proposing this now for -updates, agreed with the sru team and the security team.
