When you want to update java, then download jave, and do as above mentioned.
This will create a java package, which you then can install by using "dpkg -i

That is just half the battle to install Oracle Java. There are all of
the alternatives to set, and there is a bunch of them. What is far
easier is to use this ppa:
http://www.webupd8.org/2012/06/how-to-install-oracle-java-7-in-debian.html
It is just a script, which when it executes will get Oracle Java for you
AND install about 20 alternatives ...correctly. Plus, when an update
comes out, it will re-run itself. I've used this for years without a
single major problem. I highly recommend it. They also offer a Java 8
version as well. I tried it, and went back to 7 for now. :) Ric
