Hi
What you see here is "intended behavior" (at least in case of the
default-java symlink and update-alternatives). The issue here is
probably that what Java packagers understand with "default" from what
users expect. "default-java" has been used by packagers to denote the
default Java implementation used for compiling Java packages.
I can clearly see how you would come to the conclusion you did and I
have taken this up with the Debian Java Team. Though any changes to how
default-java behaves is out of the question for Maverick (too many
packages depend on the behavior). Most likely we will introduce a new
symlink for this purpose in Natty (or later).
As for java-wrappers and how it handles this case. I suspect the tool
will need an update to properly handle this case; whether this can make
it into Maverick is an entirely different case. Since I do not work on
this tool I will not make any promises on this; however, you should be
able to work around this issue by using JAVA_FLAVOR (see man 7 java-
wrappers).
