This is looking good so far: gnome upgrade path fixed, kde and xfce are
still looking good, and tests with other desktop tasks are still running.

If all succeed, I intend to NMU ca-certificates-java with the attached
changes. I could have reintroduced the old package, but I chose to retain
the svn to git changes, and to drop the version for the openjdk-7 case,
since even jessie had a higher version. Attached debdiffs against current
version, and previous one.
