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.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javadb/overview/faqs-jsp-156714.html#1q2

In 2013, derby was packaged for Debian.
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/derby

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.

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.
