Package: java-package
Version: 0.24
Severity: normal

To reproduce:

install sun-j2sdk1.5 (built from make-jpkg)
purge sun-j2sdk1.5
install sun-j2sdk1.4 (built from make-jpkg)

Now about:plugins in the browser shows no java plugin.

To repair I had to run the following:

for i in firefox-javaplugin.so \
         mozilla-javaplugin.so \
         netscape-javaplugin.so
    do update-alternatives --auto $i
done
