Hi,

I'm sorry but I don't understand your bug report.
You've stated that
"
It seems that the Debian developers may have accidentally either named the
openjdk-7-jre to 7 rather than 6 or they put the openjdk-6-jre package in
the
package that is named with 7
"

Here is a simple check :
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/bin/java -version
java version "1.7.0_25"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.3.12) (7u25-2.3.12-4)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode)

Maybe you've not launching the right runtime ?
Please look at [1] for instructions on how to use update-java-alternatives
command
