Hi Juan Pablo,
It looks like we need to return to this conversation because of the last
letter from Ubuntu and their notification about Sun Java 6's exclusion
from Multiverse.
Here are my several cents to your questions.

My take is that at first in order to support something new we need to have a
clear reason (business reason) to do that for us and for our partners and
customers because we are going to dedicate time and efforts to it and also
our customers would require to do the same (in a less scale but in any case,
no one wants to touch working system if only there is sth beneficial out
there). In line with it we also need to decide about whether we want to
support both or not.
Once we are clear with the previous point I think that as soon as we
primarily pass standard QA test phase for MP (with some additional
recommendations from experts, like we received from Stephan) we can treat
support question passed.
In regards to particular case I think that we need to do it because we want
to be in a new Ubuntu LTS release and in Universe.
In respect to maintaining both versions it looks they are very good
compatible and do not collide so I would reach an agreement with QA about
test cycle of it and based on that make a stamp that we are OK. After that
will only do automated tests of that configuration that you have already
conducted during first evaluations.
Regards,
Dmitry.
