/home/hennebry> /usr/sbin/alternatives --display java
java - status is manual.
 link currently points to /usr/share/java/libgcj-java-placeholder.sh
/usr/share/java/libgcj-java-placeholder.sh - priority 100
 slave rmiregistry: /usr/bin/grmiregistry
 slave rmiregistry.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/grmiregistry.1.gz
Current `best' version is /usr/share/java/libgcj-java-placeholder.sh.

Installing a package with a mechanism designed to install it
should not result in a nonworking system..
So far as I can tell, jpackage does not document how to fix
the things it breaks except to say to use alternatives.
