Please note that while I am not the package maintainer, sun-java6 is in multiverse and is community supported. It and sun-java5 were originally provided in Ubuntu multiverse to help developers have access to java when there was no free alternative. As of Ubuntu 8.10, openjdk-6 is in 'main', officially supported and receives regular security updates.
If someone from the community wants to come up with a way to provide updates for sun-java* packages, I suggest bringing it up on the ubuntu-motu mailing list.
