Please set this as a bug that "Affects: Ubuntu" then until someone can
decide the right place for it. I can't see to figure out how to do that.
Otherwise you're effectively closing the bug. That's fine, if you want
to say it's not a bug at all, but nobody has said that yet.
The Java package would make sense if this were a case where there was
just one relevant package. For example, I maintain a package in Debian
that provides an icon for its own data files. But here, there are
several Java runtimes. Which one should provide the icon? If it's just
one, you'd have to have that one installed to get an icon, which is bad
if you want another. If it's all of them, that's needless duplication
(and inconsistency if they don't provide the same exact icon) and you
have to plumb it through the alternatives method. These seem like bad
tradeoffs. So, to me, it seems like either the icon should be provided
by a central icon package or there should be a package for the Java
icons that every Java runtime would depend on (which is a lot of
overhead, I think).
