Say... what? I have no such dir, and got no such errors...
In fact, to find this, I did : apt-get source sun-java6-jre fgrep "cow" sun-java6-6-03/debian/* -R
And I find no references to cows. You sure it's not a previously misconfigured package?

I even tried performing a complete uninstall of everything Java and then reinstalling and it still failed. As I was poking around the internets looking for a solution I found someone offering this tidbit of info. I knew the problem I was having was somewhere in the postinst script, so I greped in it looking for "cow" to no avail. Willing to try anything I said, "what the hell", made the symlink and it worked. I was as shocked as you.
I believe this is the web page I found that referenced that fix:
