Yes, you're right. I made a mistake here, sorry about that.

There was multiple bugs reported on openjdk-6 / openjdk-7 on this issue. I 
think, I've been mistaken by #632794 (I thought it was reported on 
openjdk-7...)

I've now found a way to fix this NSS loading issue (ie. different from 
openjdk-6).

Matthias Klose is the driver for this multiarch switch of openjdk-6 / 
openjdk-7. AFAIK, plan is to add a compatibility symlink into default-jdk [1]
