Public bug reported:

Install openjdk-6-jre which suggests icedtea-plugin and install openjdk-7-jre which suggests icedtea6-plugin.
Update alternatives, config and select openjdk-7-jre.
Purge openjdk-6-jre.
Result: it also removes icedtea6-plugin. No matter if using remove or purge, you won't have any icedtea-plugin left.
Expected:
Leave openjdk-7-jre suggestion alone, don't remove any suggestion from other packages.

~$ sudo update-alternatives --config java
There are 2 choices for the alternative java (providing /usr/bin/java).
