Public bug reported:

IcedTeaPlugin.so has been removed from icedtea-8-plugin because the
NPAPI support in browsers has been removed.  Therefore, the
openjdk-8-jre-headless package should remove the reference to
IcedTeaPlugin.so in .java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64.jinfo because it causes an
error to be thrown when switching between java versions when using
update-java-alternatives.  This affects all versions of ubuntu using the
openjdk-8-jre-headless package.

Example:
update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for mozilla-javaplugin.so
update-java-alternatives: plugin alternative does not exist: /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so
