I solved this by installing another javavm, jamvm (whatever would work I
think, kaffe etc), then selecting it:
$ sudo update-alternatives --config java
There are 2 alternatives which provide `java'.
Selection Alternative
-----------------------------------------------
+ 1 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java
2 /usr/bin/jamvm
Press enter to keep the default[*], or type selection number: 2
Using '/usr/bin/jamvm' to provide 'java'.

Then selecting openjdk again:
$ sudo update-alternatives --config java
There are 2 alternatives which provide `java'.
Selection Alternative
-----------------------------------------------
+ 1 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java
* 2 /usr/bin/jamvm
Press enter to keep the default[*], or type selection number: 1
Using '/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java' to provide 'java'.

Then I uninstalled jamvm, and it's fine now.
I think it's a bug that OpenJDK does not get configured automatically as
java if there are no alternatives
