Bug Description

I installed icedtea-netx to be able to use webstart. After installing, webstart exists here: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/bin/javaws however, it is not in the PATH and typing "javaws" always tells me to install the package mentioned before.

I expected to be able to execute "javaws" after following to instructions printed by the command-not-found helper.

javaws is not added to the path probably due to a bug in update-java-alternatives (part of the java-common package).
