Status in “openjdk-6” package in Ubuntu: New

Bug description:
Binary package hint: update-manager

When update-manager upgrades some package (I think is it openjdk), my existing 
/etc/alternatives javac setting gets replaced with the default. This means 
suddenly my system is running java apps using openjdk instead of sun's java. It 
should respect and preserve the alternatives setting, or at the very minimum, 
should warn me that it is changing this important setting. This has hit me 
several times over the last year or two.

Apologies if this is not actually an update-manager problem. I reported it here 
since this is the app that is running when the problem happens.

Running Ubuntu 9.04, update-manager  1:0.111.9
