Partner uploads generally happen later in the cycle.  You can enable
lucid partner repo to get Sun Java.  No need to use a PPA.

Status in “openjdk-6” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released

Bug description:
Starting in Firefox 3.6, Mozilla foundation will drop support for OJI (Open Java Virtual Machine Integration) that icedtea6-plugin uses, and will only support the standard NPAPI and NPRuntime interfaces.
