It's not supposed to depend on any specific alternative - although the
current alternative needs to provide the required bits.  AFAIK all 1.4.2
alternatives do.  What alternative did you have selected?

It was a JDK 1.5.x.

I'm a bit surprised. If the tomcat package (say) installed pre-compiled classes it would seem like it assumes a specific version of java - and perhaps a specific version of gcj.

I'm uncertain as to the philosophy of "alternatives". I can see that it is useful to have a way to specify which application is bound to a generic command name clear that it should control which JVM an application uses? That seems a little scary.
