Public bug reported:

The .postinst scripts of both openjdk-6-jre-lib and openjdk-7-jre-lib
delete files belonging to tzdata-java.

This leads to unexpected errors in Java applications. One such is
Eclipse.

Eclipse will fail to list installation history and report the exception:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class
com.ibm.icu.impl.JavaTimeZone

when trying to view Help > About Eclipse Platform > Installation Details
> Installation History

The postinst scripts are at fault:
