So, the packaging situation is a bit muddy here.
I have previously manually created a softlink from
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/src/zip ->
../java-7-openjdk-i386/src/zip
Because the "source" package (which is basically necessary for a useful
debugging environment in Eclipse, etc), puts the archive in the i386
folder... even through source is platform-independent.
Eclipse expects to find src.zip in the root of the JDK by default, hence
the softlink. Also submitted bugs to the effect that the packaging
should change to put the source in a platform-independant location and
softlink to the archive in the appropriate platform-dependent locations.
Perhaps a half-baked version of this is what's occurring. I note the new
folder `openjdk-7` is now the new location of the src.zip archive and
there is an appropriate softlink in the amd64 folder.
Inspecting the packages...
openjdk-7-jdk :
This package now includes
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/src.zip (a link to the source)
