The oracle-java-installer packages mess around with distribution packages, nam ely the postinst runs
#create default-java symbolic link rm -rf /usr/lib/jvm/default-java ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle /usr/lib/jvm/default-java the prerm runs rm -rf /usr/lib/jvm/default-java This is not acceptable. Please don't mess around with the standard installation in such a way. For now i'll add unconditional conflicts to these installer packages in default-jre-headless so that people know what they get when using these packages.
