 no, this would break the alternatives at every update.

As opposed to it being broken everytime even before an update?  Note the
subject line.  /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun does not exist.

 $ ls -l /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2008-04-04 10:20 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun -
 java-6-sun-1.6.0.05

 it does exist.

You may want to verify what version your link came from.  May I suggest
you purge your package, delete the link (since not being known in the
package's alternatives, it will mean the link will not be removed -- how
it got there in the first place for you and didn't subsequently get
removed on an upgrade, I don't know), and reinstall Version: 6-05-1 from
sid?

 ls -l /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
ls: cannot access /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun: No such file or directory

I don't fully understand how alternatives work (in where the
metainformation etc comes from), but I don't see any
/var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/*sun*

Maybe you have a package that I don't which indicates there is a
dependency problem, as well as a general screwup in that I'm sure one
package shouldn't be owning another package's alternatives.

 closing again.

And likewise, reopening again.
