Package: openjdk-7-jre
Version: 7u79-2.5.5-1~deb8u1

Since the upgrade of openjdk-7-jre from 7u75-2.5.4-2 to version
7u79-2.5.5-1~deb8u1 this morning, my computer refuse to start the
Minecraft JAR file.  I tracked it down to the fact that

  /usr/share/applications/openjdk-7-java.desktop

is no longer present in the binary package.  I find this chnagelog entry
in 7u79-2.5.5-1, which seem relevant.  But I do not understand what it
mean, and I did not understand when it would trigger.

  * Only install the openjdk-java.desktop file when using cautious-launcher.

Please change the binary to include the java desktop file again.

Happy hacking
