KillYourTV should comment here on the specifics of the I2P Debian
package, but I2P recommends using OpenJDK v7. As I recall, there are
several I2P "bugs" that only occur on OpenJDK v6 (not Oracle JRE 6),
and are solved by running OpenJDK v7.

I2P will still work because we support JRE 1.6 and higher. But
(pending comments from KillYourTV) I would recommend removing OpenJDK
v6 instead.
