I have just tried adding the above to sources.list on my Ubuntu 7.04 
system (in vmware), and it fails when apt-getting icedtea-demo with this 
message:

root at vmubuntu:/etc/apt# apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  icedtea-demo: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.5-5) but 2.5-0ubuntu14 is to be 
installed
                Depends: libgcc1 (>= 1:4.2-20070516) but 
1:4.1.2-0ubuntu4 is to be installed
E: Broken packages
root at vmubuntu:/etc/apt#

What would the appropriate action be to continue from here?

(I tried building from the mercurial repository but something is broken 
with 1.4 version 1.5 runtimes and generics)
