Hi, Currently, icedtea-plugin depends on icedtea-6-plugin, i.e. Java6. Given openjdk-6 is unsupported, we should change it to depend on icedtea-7-plugin instead. See the attached source debdiff (the control file is autogenerated).
Thoughts? If no-one objects, I will upload that soon. Cheers, Emilio
