Bug Description

Java doesn't work after an upgrade from Oneiric to precise.

To reproduce:

Install baseline Oneiric
Install jenkins:
  apt-get install jenkins
Upgrade to Precise

To fix it, I installed openjdk-7-jre, which solved the problem but also left openjdk-6 installed

I can confirm this; I followed this procedure to re-produce in a clean, up-to-date Oneiric schroot:

apt-get install jenkins
do-release-upgrade -d

After the upgrade all of the alternatives links related to openjdk-6 are broken:
