TTBOMK JabRef doesn't work with any of the free Java VMs that are packaged in Debian; it should work with icedtea in Ubuntu but I can't add that to the Depends: of the Debian package because it's not yet in Debian.
What you can do is grab my dummy sun-java-package from http://www.toastfreeware.priv.at/debian/unstable/sun-java-jre-dummy_0.1_all.deb , install it manually (sudo dpkg -i sun-java-jre-dummy_0.1_all.deb) to make the jabref package happy and then use icedtea or any other Java VM that works for you.
As soon as icedtea appears in Debian I'll add it.
