I don't like this – this would suggest one comes from Sun, the other
from Oracle, while both are from Oracle now and both were developed
mainly by Sun.

Yes, that is a reason to keep 1.6 and 1.7 in different packages. As it
is often called "Java 6" an "Java 7", then maybe we should package it
as 'oracle-java6' and 'oracle-java7'?

BTW. we should probably package IcedTea 7 too.
