I also have to use the proprietary JDK from time to time to test my
software. However I think Debian is about free software and everything
we do should reflect this and thus OpenJDK was made the default JDK/JRE.
I also don't see the difficulties in using
sudo update-alternatives --config java
after the installation of the Oracle JDK and to change the default to
the preferred one. That would have taken less time than to file this bug
report.
