Package: openjdk-6
Version: 6b11-9
Severity: important
Justification: Broken for average user unless he/she knows about
update-java-alternatives

Hi out there,
when switching from another JVM[0] (which means java-common is already
installed) the links in /etc/alternatives only get removed but not set for
openjdk-6-*, which means an average user has a »broken« installation (can't
invoke e.g. java on the shell).

This problem can be fixed manually by invoking
> update-java-alternatives -a [--jre[-headless]]
but that script isn't really known by most users.

It seems to me, that update-java-alternatives isn't called in the postinstall
stage of openjdk-6-jre[-headless]. Please fix this to ease the transition from
Sun's (or any other) JVM to the OpenJDK JVM.

Thank you in advance for your effort.

Greetings,
Kai


[0] In all cases it was switched over from sun-java6-* to the openjdk-6-* 
pendants.
