itweb-settings in icedtea-netx actually depends on openjdk-6

[Alexander Bürger]

Package: icedtea-netx
…
Version: 1.2-2ubuntu1.3
…
Depends: … openjdk-6-jre (>= 6b23~pre10~) | openjdk-7-jre …

so it is either openjdk-6 or -7, but /usr/bin/itweb-settings looks like:
========================================
#!/bin/sh
JAVA=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java
…
========================================

Replacing this with
========================================
#!/bin/sh
for V in 6 7; do
  J=/usr/lib/jvm/java-$V-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java
  if test -x $J; then
    JAVA=$J
    break
  fi
done
test -n "$JAVA" || exit 1
…
========================================
makes the control panel compatible with both major openjdk versions, as specified in Depends.
