No, but looking at /usr/share/doc/shared-mime-info/changelog.gz, the latest entry regarding java dates back to 2004-11-26. I would match that to the date in changelog.Debian and then take this version number. >> Nevertheless it would be nice if you installed the icons as outlined by >> Sam. >> >> And last but not least, I would recommend to move the files >> /usr/share/control-center-2.0/capplets/sun-java5-policytool.desktop and >> /usr/share/control-center-2.0/capplets/sun-java5-controlpanel.desktop >> to /usr/share/applications.

Using the fd.o menu specification [1] is better because other desktops will benefit from it (without regressions on the Gnome side.
