Looks like .jinfo file installed by sun-java5-bin, sun-java6-bin and
openjdk-6-bin need addition of xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so.

The postinst script installs an alternative called "xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so" but the jinfo file contains the name "xulrunner-addons-javaplugin.so". The mismatch prevents update-java-alternatives from working properly - for example, try "update-java-alternatives --plugin --set java-6-sun" and it reports "No alternatives for xulrunner-addons-javaplugin.so."


I believe all of the above is also a problem for the sun-java5-* packages.
