Bug Description
When I try to install abrowser, sun-java6-plugin gets removed. It seems to depend on the official Firefox branding.

I can confirm that the firefox dependency of sun-java6-plugin is a problem. When I remove the official firefox from ubuntu, I cannot install sun-java6-plugin without reinstalling firefox again. Since other browsers use the mozilla-plugin directories for plugins, firefox should be only _recommended_ to install, it should not be a mandatory dependency.
