 Well, yes, but, based on my poor understanding of such matters, how
can you change the alternatives if apt-get doesn't install more
updated versions? I think you should be able to specify to the
differencet utilities in the jdk. This is what I got in my env:

On this box, java and javaws use different java versions
You can set them using update-alternatives(1) -- or update-java-
