When I go to http://www.java.com/en/ and click the link that asks "Do I have java?", which opens http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre&try=1 then the result is that I don't have the recommended version for my browser (iceweasel). I have removed sun-java6 and installed sun-java5, run the update-java-alternatives command and still get the same result. The recommended version of java the sun/java site is 6.1
Now it is quite possible that the site may default to that in order 
to promote its latest release, so I am quite willing to consider that 
another java-rich site may provide a better/more accurate test. Do 
you know of any site that may prove a worthwhile place to test the 
java installation?

I get the same thing.  It looks like the java site is complaining 
because the version in the repositories its 6.0 and not the newest 
6.1.  I personally haven't had any problems with the version of java 
provided from the debian repositories.  All the sites I have visited 
have been just fine.

Thanks for checking that out. Bob's posting about alternatives has also been helpful, so now that I feel more reassured that it is site-specific rather than for my browser/set up, I'll just get on with it. But this has been really useful all.
Many thanks (once again)
