Comment 11 for bug 359934

Your package is a s good as the .36, it is pulling all the goodies from the repositories incl. Sun Java plugin, but only when installed via synaptic from your PPA as additional software source.

It is, like the "original" metapackage, not doing anything when being installed via direkt download and gdebi as it only "recommends" but does not "requires" the other packages.

So your package is as good as the former and does pull sun-java6-plugin, but I am really surprised why Michael Vogt chose this way - people coming from windows, trying to download and install the package will think it is broken as it does not do the job. Not your fault, but IMHO a design bug in the original ubuntu-restricted-extras.
