Use in an online course falls right into the pattern. Not something that *everyone* would need but a smaller group of people will need it and it is a larger application than is typically run by the masses. Makes sense. (Of course in that case you would need Java installed and I am not lobbying against it here. Just making observations.) > It is interesting that you say that Iceweasel loads the modules > dynamically once installed.

I have a stock iceweasil installation. For modules such as Java I can verify that they are not installed by looking in about:plugins. Then I can install the .deb file. Then reload about:plugins in the running browser and those additional plugins will be display there. I have tried this just now to verify and "it worked for me". I exited iceweasil, I removed the plugins with 'dpkg --purge', I started iceweasil, checked about:plugins and verified that they were not present, installed the java package, checked about:plugins and it was listed as present.
