Bug Description
The last update of openjdk-6 forgot to include the links in /etc/alternatives that allowed programs requiring the functionality of a java development kit or java runtime environment to just invoke the commands without specifying a full path. This in turn causes problems with some other packages which make the assumption that installing openjdk-6 will allow them to access the required programs from the system path
