I'm unable to fully diagnose this because on my system the alternatives
aren't being recognized for the plugin.

Running update-java-alternatives --set xyzzy-N-frobnitz ought to switch
all aspects of the Java to the correct values, including the choice of
the plugin.  However on my system there's several messages giving
different alternatives of "No alternatives for xyzzy-plugin" ... and
then no matter which java alternative is selected the testvm.xml applet
(http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml?ff3) always says java 6u6.
