Bug Description
sun-javadb was uploaded by a Sun developer in 2008 and hasn't been touched since.
Oracle claims that JavaDB is Oracle's supported version of Apache Derby and includes the "same binaries" whatever that means.

In 2013, derby was packaged for Debian.

Currently, derby and sun-javadb are not co-installable (LP: #1276353) so let's drop the unmaintained Ubuntu-specific multiverse package and use the Debian-maintained derby instead.
To post a comment you must log in.
I now added transitional packages for this to derby so that we can upgrade sun-javadb users to something that is maintained.

So, drop the source package sun-javadb only. sun-javadb has no reverse dependencies in Ubuntu.
