I don't have a gcj 4.2 for debian. Yesterday, I built a gcj 4.2.0 snapshot for 
Ubuntu 64. I'm not too keen on uploading this as gcj 4.2.0 is not even 
released yet, I just built the latest snapshot.

In any case, it's not that hard to build yourself, it takes a few hours 
depending on the speed of your system. It requires about 1-2 gb of free disk 
space as well. If you carefully follow the steps outlined yesterday (for 
instance, don't build gcc inside its source tree), you shouldn't have any 
problems.
