[TriLUG] Gentoo updates and dev-java/sun-jdk-1.6.0-r1

[tomed at bellsouth.net]

My jdk's are set to the standard:

virtual/jdk
virtual/jre

The new dependency on java 1.6 happened gradually as I did updates - first
for just a few packages, then for world.

The jdk section in my package.keywords does not mention jdk 1.6

I assume that new packages are arriving with dependencies on jdk 1.6. I'd
rather stick with 1.5, but right now I can't do security updates.
