Okay, that didn't work. Comment #7 is my explanation of my attempt to
switch this to being filed as a bug against icedtea6-plugin. However,
after I did that, the web interface came up with this message:

'icedtea6-plugin' is a binary package. This bug has been assigned to its
source package 'openjdk-6' instead.

I'm not sure at this point how to bring this bug to the attention of
people who are actually handling bug reports for the plugin aspects of
java...?

Bug description:
Binary package hint: update-manager

Before upgrading from Karmic to Lucid beta 2, I had the icedtea6-plugin package installed and selected, and java applets were working in firefox. After upgrading,  icedtea6-plugin was deselected, and no java plugin showed up in firefox when I entered about:plugins in the URL bar. To make java applets work again, I had to do an apt-get install icedtea6-plugin to reselect the package. The package was still cached on my system; it just needed to be reselected manually.
