  I'm using cowbuilder. My trick was to chroot to the base directory,
install manually with aptitude any of sun's packages (you get to
accept Sun's license to do so), and remove them. The debconf license
question will henceforth be marked as answered, sun's packages will
install fine and cowbuilder will work.

  I guess a similar path could be taken with pbuilder, but it would be
slightly more painful (owing to the necessity to remake the tarball
afterwards).

  Cheers,

      Vincent
