Comment 14 for bug 84790

What seems to happen is that update-alternatives correctly sets java6 as the default, however the symlink of /usr/bin/java is linked to /etc/alternatives/java which is only handled by update-java-alternatives not the usual update-alternatives.

Is there anyway to make that a bit less confusing or has update-java-alternatives always been the proper way to handle the symlinks for java in /etc/alternatives?
