Bug Description
The j2re1.4 package and similar cannot be installed with the noninteractive DEBIAN_FRONTEND to the debconf system because of the need to agree to a licence. The package should either detect that it is being installed on a buildd and assume that acceptance has been made for the licence, or assume that if being run under the noninteractive frontend that this is tacit agreement to the licence. Otherwise buildds and the like cannot build any package which depends on the j2re for being built.
For example, I found this while wanting to install fop, which build-depends on a batik library which cannot be built because it build depends on the j2re.

However, same file installs the java 1.4.2_04 properly on my Ubuntu 7.10 without any problems.
Also, the java 1.4.2_***16 *** can be successfully installed in my Ubuntu 8.04 beta, only the version 1.4.2.04 has such problem.
Java 1.4.2.04 is very important for the enterprise ERP/ERM applications, as the Oracle Form Server 10 & Form Developer MUST use this java version!
Any ideas?
Thanks!
