I don't like mixed Stable/Testing systems: too much conflict.

And building a JDK from source just takes too long.

I suggest installing the .deb from stable. If the dependencies aren't
satisfiable, a rebuild is probably the most supported option. I run a mixed
stable/backports/testing/etc. system, and it works for me; it would be fast,
but it's not something that's supported.

The android build system has a number of checks which automatically bail if
something other than sun-java5-jdk is used -- Sun's Java 6 included.

While I was previously able to bypass these checks by editing some of the
build system, ISTR that Sun's Java 6 would not compile the unmodified Android
code from Repo/Git.
