How do we go about fixing the error when Firefox requests icedtea-gcjwebplugin?
The Synaptic package manager also errors out when trying to install it. I know that installing icedtea6-plugin would get rid of the issue for me, but its not great for people joining this distro that would like reasonable java support.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: gnome-app-install

icedtea-gcjwebplugin _conflicts_ with icedtea6-plugin, even though it's supposed to be a transitional package. Please thus replace icedtea-gcjwebplugin with icedtea6-plugin in gnome-app-install.

An alternative would be fixing icedtea-gcjwebplugin to install icedtea6-plugin correctly.
