it's just jumped from b13 to b21. Why is this?
Good question. I believe this has to do with the way the Oracle internal builds work - since they are based off OpenJDK (a great thing), when we do an internal build it gets tagged in the OpenJDK forests now, too, even if there are no changes. The actual build Oracle JDK 7u2 is based off is b13, as the release notes say: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/7u2-relnotes-1394228.html
What happened to the interim builds?
Nothing, really, as there were no interim builds.
I imagine most GNU/Linux distros will package via IcedTea rather than directly, hence why I was asking about which is the best tree to update IcedTea from.
Go with jdk7u/jdk7u2.
