No fix. But I have the same issue. I didn't manage to fix it.
If I'm not wrong, I think it's a bug in update-java-alternatives from java-
common.
I'm running debian unstable, same package version than yours.
See: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=466661
Any other hint would be appreciated.
Fred.

Hi David,
To let you know that I managed to fix this issue.
I installed default-jre package and I purge all packages containing gcj/gij in
their name.
By doing this, I got openjdk 1.6 installed by default which is fine for me and
this solved the issue.
Now, I didn't tell there are no bugs in the java package dependencies or in
the configuration of update-alternative for these packages.
Well... I'm happy with this fix :)
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Fred.
