Package: java-package
Version: 0.56
Severity: normal

The update-java-alternatives command fails with:

    # update-java-alternatives -s jdk-8-oracle-x64; echo $?
    update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for iceweasel-javaplugin.so
    update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for iceweasel-javaplugin.so
    2

/usr/lib/jvm/.jdk-8-oracle-x64.jinfo contains the line:

    plugin iceweasel-javaplugin.so /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-8-oracle-x64/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so

However, /var/lib/dpkg/info/oracle-java8-jdk.postinst registers the
alternative with the name 'mozilla-java-plugin.so':

    for b in mozilla;do
        install_browser_plugin "/usr/lib/$b/plugins" "libjavaplugin.so" "$b-javaplugin.so" "$plugin_dir/libnpjp2.so"
    done
