I don't think so, but I did install a firefox package from Ubuntu, but
that was months ago. I might have messed something up manually and
forgotten about it.

No.

~$ l /etc/alternatives/iceweasel-javaplugin.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 58 22 dec 22.20
/etc/alternatives/iceweasel-javaplugin.so ->
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so

Now I did this:

~# update-alternatives --config iceweasel-javaplugin.so
There is only one alternative in link group iceweasel-javaplugin.so:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so
Nothing to configure.
update-alternatives: warning: forcing reinstallation of alternative
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so because link
group iceweasel-javaplugin.so is broken.

~# update-alternatives --config iceweasel-javaplugin.so
There is only one alternative in link group iceweasel-javaplugin.so:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so
Nothing to configure.

So the warning went away, but the problem persists.

Cheers,

Marcus
