@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:

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....
