Hi

The change you suggest will solve your particular problem, but for someone 
wanting to do the "other way" transformation (etc. sun-java6 -> openjdk-6) will 
now have a problem.
  That being said, I think the reverse is probably less likely to happen in the 
real world and your solution here will probably be a decent work-around for 
Maverick. The long term solution is probably to update java-wrappers  to prefer 
the system default java if it fulfills the requirements (also it should 
probably be updated to not include 4+ JVMs that are now removed from Debian) 
and then fall back to its chosen order (if the system default is not good 
enough). Though again, I am not working on java-wrappers so I will not make any 
decisions here. 

On a side note: openjdk-6 is a vastly better choice than e.g. gcj/gij or
some of the now removed JVMs such as sablevm or kaffe. I suspect the
/usr/lib/jvm/* might have caught the gcj/gij before the openjdk-6; this
is likely the reason why it was added early in the list.
