Bug#678195: openjdk-6-jre-headless: do NOT update alternatives automatically

 

Package: openjdk-6-jre-headless
Version: 6b24-1.11.1-6
Severity: normal

do NOT, repeat, NOT update alternatives automatically! i don't want
openjdk and it does not work well. having it pulled in as a hardcoded
dependency is worse enough -- having it forced upon me as /usr/bin/java
and related executables is a no-go!
_I_ want to decide what provides /usr/bin/java & cie -- and I
_DID_ decide that it should be the sun java. having that overwritten
without even being asked is completely against the idea of user's
freedom!
