If the /usr results in "alternatives" being used, I'm happy with that -
it wasn't obvious, because of course that was never present in
/etc/eclipse/java_home.  I'll remove my manually added link to sun-
java-6 and try it.

The second point about Debian packages not being permitted to rely on
environment variables is not an issue - I don't believe policy
_excludes_ them using environment variables, they just can't rely on
them.  My point there was that Eclipse will use JAVA_HOME as an override
if that's what a user wants.

Finally, somebody _did_ submit a patch (first response to this bug), and
it works just fine to do what you want (and if the /usr bit works, what
I want too), and you haven't used it.
