It seems that this package depends on openjdk 6 or 7.  I did recently
remove version 6 from my system.  The dependencies for this package are
still met.  javaws should, in this case, either:

1) Be split into two packages, one depending on jdk 6 and the other
depending on jdk 7, or

2) have its script automatically detect which one to use.

What's more, update-alternatives cannot even be comfigured to use JDK 7:

# update-alternatives --config javaws
There is only one alternative in link group javaws (providing
/usr/bin/javaws): /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/javaws
Nothing to configure.
# ls -l /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/javaws
