Well the open jdk package is called "openjdk6". It would be nice if all the 
similar packages had similar names, to make it obvious that they were 
alternatives.

So if you want to rename them, how about either calling them sunjdk6 and 
sunjre6 or else renaming the open ones too to fit into the same scheme, e.g. 
java6-open-jdk? Although this has the down side that it no longer contains the 
phrase "openjdk" which is probably what some/most people search for.

Just a thought.
